Okay, so my idea for a visual firewall is pretty much dead.  how about
this:

Visual Network monitor - 3D representation of all nodes on the network
with different indicators for traffic to/from a node, detection of
"abnormal" activities(intrusions)

How's that?

Oh, and don't forget the flame-stickers for the top of the DC :)
