Hey Ubuntu,

Can always count on you guys to help out. Just recieved a couple of new google GSA's and they are pretty freaking sexy. My boss wants to have 1u in between in one with some sort of decorative LED / Fan / Combo..

They don't really need the cooling, or the airflow, and our server room doesn't need anymore white noise :) .. Not going to lie, my boss just wants these things to 'look cool'. I have been googling and newegging around for quite a bit looking for 19 inch rack mount asthetic peices, but can't seem to find anything that isn't for a DJ.

Any tips would be great, we are open to ideas, glowing, LEDs, indicators of network traffic, even sound response.. just something that we can brag about.

Like always, I know this isn't a specific Ubuntu related question (hence why I am in 'The Cafe') But there is a reason I love Ubuntu, BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNITY!

Any help would be great.. Word.http://www.marshmellowlane.com/Img/GSAs.jpg

I was going to recommend an Arduino board to interface with the LED's to broadcast messages, but the blink(1) appears to have an embedded Arduino! Neat product.
