Have you heard about the plug and play data centers where you stuff a bunch of computing and support hardware into a self contained shipping container, and then you wire the shipping containers together. When you've reached a certain failure rate for a single shipping container you pull it out and drop in a new one. Pretty brilliant.
Aether Apparel recently built their new SF store out of shipping crates. They've got a sick ass video on the making of. Worth a watch if you havent seen it:
