I got a CMA (Cable Management Arm) with my server too, but unfortunately it didn't fit in my rack, I was so disappointed, and just look at that mess.
Update November, 15, 2011
Installed new Dell R510 server, labeled all the cables in the rack, added new KVM, and changed OS on LEVIATHAN.
R510 Specs:
Name: CynoGriffon
2 x Intel Xeon E5620 @ 2.4 GHz
24 GB of RAM
8 x 2TB Seagate HDDs totalling 16TB (10TB Usable with RAID-Z 2)

The R510 is a beautiful server, by far my favorite.

The server stack for Quizilla at the time of the sale. Operations were moved from these machines to LA 2 months later. Except for two, these servers are all hand-built by me. Note the glowing fans. (edit: photo was taken May 2005)

The first iteration of Google production servers were built with inexpensive hardware and were designed to be very fault-tolerant. The system worked very well and proved to be highly scalable.
