And how much to build it to mil. spec? Probably x10 that number at a minimum. Sure, it's not a military establishment, but I am sure their security and 50 year event survivability is higher than any commercial DC facility.
Add to that the fact that utilization in most DCs is terrible. A super computer will throw out significantly more heat than your "traditional" DC.
Let's not even consider the op. ex. of moving the staff working who would work on the new facilities.
Edit: And LOL at those figures being accurate. That's just the building. What about the costs for the fibre, all that copper, power infrastructure, cooling, false floors, air filtering, special construction needs such as sunken well floors (to contain any leaks from the cooling systems, for example).
