265w/sqft can just handle today's typical blade server power density (allowing for a reasonable amount of wire management and slightly less than full blade loading). If you look at the densities of newly released blade servers, it is not hard to hit 300w+ / sq ft. The more amusing part is those attempting to cool this via raised floor systems, as it takes 24 to 30" of raised floor to achieve the necessary airflow, and this is only going to get worse. /John
