The World's Most Super-Designed Data Center: Pionen
12:40 AM
automotive
Pionen is an underground data center that belongs to the biggest Swedish internet service provider Bahnhof. It is located 30 meters under the granite rocks. It was built in a former bomb shelter, thus it can withstand a direct attack with a hydrogen bomb. Two Maybach MTU diesel engines from a submarine are responsible for backup power supply. Together they produce 1.5 megawatts of power. The entrance doors are 40 cm thick. The place is surrounded with the granite and it just mesmerizes with its beauty.
It became famous for hosting some of Wikileaks servers. And this place looks beautiful.

Armored Truck Limo Nightclub
12:12 AM
automotive
This limousine can be easily called an apartment on wheels. After all, this huge truck with 26 seats in the cabin is equipped with a bar, toilet and sink. Take a look at its cool interior and find out limousine’s price on eBay after the jump.
The Vault XXL Armored Limousine also has a 36 inch plasma TV, and four 15 inch monitors with DVD player and iPhone/iPad connection. It’s interesting that the driver’s cab is separated from the passenger compartment with an armored bulkhead… this should probably protect the driver from being accidentally shot from the VIP zone during a party.
This limousine “nightclub” uses Navistar International vehicle as a basis. It is a serious vehicle with a fantastic blend of comfort and security, but for the horrible noise level inside the cabin. That’s another reason for having an armored bulkhead inside.
The Vault XXL Armored Limousine is sold on eBay for $175,000.
