I know you are joking, but the weight, power, and heat dissipation all make this impractical. They tried similar ideas with cargo containers and underwater enclosures, which were a lot more practical than outer space, but they didn't stick with it.
I think the main problem is spare parts. A long time ago I was working in the data centre. I don't remember any day when there was no problems with hardware.
