Alexander, 

These are not cost effective for a Colo!  They simply take up too much rack 
space.  You would do better holding a linux kernel bake sale and getting some 
good 1 u servers.  Power is going to be costly even at say Limelight, if they 
can even do it.

Depending on the colo, these already have their own free standing racks.

Your dryer power will work, depending on the customization for power these were 
installed with.  Converters exists, see GreyBar or other online sites.

First things to determine are a) what is the current power coupler on the 
Behemoth, b) what is your dryer coupler?

I believe that what I had in mind can be compiled to processors other than x86. 
 I put in the request hastily but not lightly, I do need to research a few 
things before I decide I want this.  Not the least of which is cost-benefit 
analysis of keeping it in a co-lo.

BTW, until I get a co-lo, will my laundry power supply work?
