Do they even make enough heat for that to be viable option? Most computer systems can handle a pretty low temperature before they start having problems because they're over-heating.
It's not going to be steam pipes, but warm water. Maybe 60°C but lots of it. Warm enough for underfloor heating to be sure.
Biggest problem in my head is that you'd need to design buildings to take advantage of it, and I doubt data centres would be permanent enough to warrant the commitment.
