Well...
It would be an entire building, I like Marvin's 10,000 sq ft. minimum, as
for the fire protection, I'd for sure want halon or something similar, i.e.
NO water! A raised floor of course, but with twice the normal height under
the floor. Also, a basement area containing some massive transformers (so I
could get 440 volt power), and diesel generators in the event of power
failure. There would also be room for a water cooling system, in the event I
ever get lucky enough to own an IBM 3033 or other water-cooled machine.
Central air is a must, I'd require it to be a positive air flow environent,
meeting mil specs. Definetly climate-controlled, I like the fireproof room
for docs and software idea, also a seperate room for spare boards and misc
stuff. It would have to have an area for disk pack storage too. Another
seperate workshop-type room, with logic analyzer, scope, etc. Also, multiple
humongous 3-phase UPS's, just in case. Hell, why not my own substation?
Also, a loading dock at semi height would be good, and there would be a nice
long sloped ramp too.
