Speaking from experience, if you build any room, server or not, with no windows (the glass kind) make sure you have some sort of emergency lighting in it for when the power goes out. Your UPSes' status lights will not provide enough light for you to find your way out of the room unless it is very small. It will take at least 1 monitor on a UPS per 100 square feet, or monitors on UPSes strategically placed along the path out. Or carrying a flashlight in your pocket at all times. Or if you are big enough, a real separate emergency lighting system. In which case, make sure the cable supplying the emergency power does not run right next to the cable supplying the regular power.
