The designer handbag pattern is more interesting than a black 19" rack cover, but I'd also consider it a far cry from the truly unique industrial design of vintage Cray. Granted, modern datacenter infrastructure has a lot more constraints than 30-40 years ago, but there are companies today (like IBM) that do interesting things within the rack format.
