One thing that I saw that was kinda cool... cutouts in the floor of the reception area that had cable and fiber running under the floor into the data center, with glass floor tiles above, and some lights in the channel. Kicker? It was all left over cable, and didn't go to or from anywhere.
Hire an actor to wander through the server room every so often wearing a black hoodie with the hood up, sticking cables and USBs into different parts of the equipment. Especially during security audits and investor meetings, but also during the CEO's all-hands meeting.

Q: What kind of fish belongs in a server room? A: A crayfish!
At UQ in Queensland we hung a plastic yabbie inside the crays flourinert recycling tank (The flourinert tank had a ballcock and was basically like a see through toilet cistern, hidden inside a normal cabinet.) (A yabbie is an Australian crayfish)
The key to any ambient aesthetic lighting is that the light not be directly visible. I will custom build you server racks that look beautiful for a hell of a lot less than you can buy them. Message me for a quote

And yet somehow you messaged me to tell me that?
Maybe after you learn the difference between messaging and public comments you’ll understand I was trying to help. Now, OTOH, I’m deliberately returning the favor of your sarcasm.

Do you have any pictures of such an installation?

That's awesome! I've been thinking a lot lately about ways to combine fish and computers. When I built my desktop shelving unit/staging area at work, I designed it around our fleet PCs but also (secretly) to fit an aquarium. Coworkers have joked that I could circulate aquarium water to cool PCs and heat the tank, but for a number of reasons I really don't think that's going to happen.
I could see something like that done with say an iMac G3. [1] or a Televideo 9xx [2]
