I used to manage a Tier 3 spec Datacenter and my favorite part was the Gennies, I had 3 Cat Diesels each V12, 32 Liter, twin turbo monsters with 1.1MWatt of generating capacity each! :D

When we started those bad boys up every month you could hear them in the data halls over all the servers and AC systems!!!
