Create a waterproof wall of glass around the room's glass walls, fill the between space with water and aquarium plants, put some fish. And in the server space proper, put a Cray in the middle, the one that looks like a 60s outer space couch, and hire a couple of str-- I think the fish will do fine.

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)

    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 helped build an aquarium into the shell of a big old "console" TV, long ago. I could see something like that done with say an iMac G3.

        I do have an iMac G3, but it would kill me to turn it into an aquarium. Not only is it an elegant computer for a more civilized era, but it wouldn't hold enough water to keep most fish happy.

        I was looking at the one on my pile and thinking "betta tank". I think it'd have to sit with he front of the screen at an angle, tho; to make the most of the volume. Put it on a high shelf and let the fish look down on your desk.
