[c-nsp] Looking for visually impressive server racks

[jp]

I'd go for a 2001 A Space Odyssey look rather than the Enterprise look. 
Rows of red lights like Hal (behind smoked acrylic rack faces), A curved 
white wall (on a side without glass) like the artificial gravity 
centrifuge part of the ship, with manequins mounted perpendicular to the 
wall, some mod red seats and a small mod table on the wall.

Aside from that, a datacenter with all the racks, floor, and ceiling 
covered in mirrors would be quite a house of horrors, and somewhat 
futuristic if creatively lit.

Chatsworth cabinets are very nice and easy to work with. I have made 
melamine side panels for these. I had bought some that didn't come with 
side panels, so I had to make something for them. Any handy creative 
person should be able to make these cabinets look special. If they don't 
sit flat on the floor, some lighting around the base with small 
flourescents between the feet should make a nice effect.
