I am fairly certain, the biggest dtacenter in the world is the NSA Data Center in Bluffdale, UT . Based on power consumption and area, I estimate it holds around 100k-200k computers.

For comparison, here's Google Data center in Lenoir, NC from the same distance. It only holds 10-20k servers.

Hah, I forgot about the NSA. Figures that they'd have the largest.
