My question is always how the hell are you going to cool them. Do you know hard it is to move heat in a vacuum?

With radiators just like with every existing satellite system.

Very large scale datacenters would likely have some nasty fluid handling problems to solve.

Why Everyone Is Talking About Data Centers In Space

Yeah the amount of heat a data center vs a satellite your going to super heat the space in that orbit over time. It they are geostationary then its even harder as the the data center doesn’t move away from the heat.
Super heat what in that space? The point is there’s nothing to transfer heat to. All you can do is radiate infra-red light.
