Use the aisle in front of your server racks for old PC storage:
Run cables through unusual pathways that require un-racking servers to move a cable:
Stack equipment back-to-back and resting on top of each other:

Kudos to the Pinellas County Tax Collector IT staff for allowing you to photograph their facilities.
