The blue tubes are for porn.

Funnier are all the easter eggs they hid in there. Hint: you can use Street View in their building.

WD SATA drives, Quantum tape drives, no Dymo labels on the Cat 6, and no covers in the 2U blades? Unorthodox, but organized. With the notes about no wasted electricity, I wonder if they can even keep the room at 68 degrees F.

I'm also impressed by the lack of use of the ceiling for cable management. (naturally with conduit and rack hardware)

EDIT: I'll add that I manage the Las Vegas Data Center for the company I work for. 68 degrees F with 33% humidity is the industry sweet spot for cooling/cost performance.
