Powering and cooling tens, hundreds of gaming PCs in orbit is beyond infeasible right now. RTGs can't produce that much power even if we had the plutonium. Solar panels are too big and heavy and don't work on the dark side of the planet. Batteries to complement the solar would also be prohibitively heavy.

Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of hurdles, I was just wondering if the latency problem could by solved by having the computers in orbit.

I guess all of these hurdles are solvable, but not the economic one.

These GPUs are not valuable enough to timeshare via orbiting satellites!

You're right, but it would be really cool!
