    Fotolia are good with decent prices. (http://en.fotolia.com/)

    Getty Images and Shutterstock are also very good, with enormous libraries.

    ShutterStock has a TON of photos tagged as datacenters that aren't really datacenters. There's a series, usually featuring two professionally-dressed guys, poking around among racks of equipment. Anyone who spends a few seconds looking at the equipment will realize they aren't servers or storage arrays at all, but broadcast routing equipment.

    Make sure you don't use images like that. And I'm not going to name the web host I saw who used a stock photo of a circa-2002 Dell server while bragging about their state-of-the-art Sandy Bridge Xeons.

    Using the link above, check the box marked "photos" and repeat your search. That will eliminate all the vector / illustrated photos.

    That's the fancy way of doing it. Wading through the wrong stuff is more fun.

    There's not a spec of dust on the machines in the stock photos. Heck, you'd spend so much time cleaning to take the photos that it'd be cheaper just to buy the stock photos!
