there used to be a pretty good article about googles servers but I can't find it now they were using custom designed boards from gigabyte with an individual battery backup for each MB, the pennies a year they saved having the batteries closer instead of attached with long wires saved them a few mill a year. everything was packed into self contained cargo containers so all they had to do to move them or expand a data center was to drop off a container and plug it in
