Now calculate the size of the radiators a full scale data centre would need.

About 2000 sqm per MW, according to Google. Given an average data center load of 100 MW, about 200k sqm. Add that again for the solar panels you'd need, and you're at a cool half a million sqm. Compare the ISS, at a measly 7000 sqm. The mind (and budget) boggles.
