Finding the right house.
Every house I look at, the first thing I check is the breaker box, how many amps are trucked in from the street, can I get more, where is the nearest space to put the servers vis-a-vis suitable outlets (or if I can run electricity easily from the breaker area to the place where I want my servers).
I pretty much spend time looking at how I use my space. Then I start looking at proximity to outside walls, if I can close off the space and pipe in cold air from a split unit air-con, etc etc.
Then I check what internet I can get, if the address is eligible for business broadband with at least tolerable connection speeds.
Between that and looking for a good school district, a decent sized kitchen with shelving I don't have to redo entirely again, proper lighting in the rest of the house, it's kinda hard to find everything I want in one place.
