In ~2004 I was the technology designer for the Lucas Arts Presidio Campus - I designed all the physical network, custom cable tray in the DC, the DC power infrastructure for the DC and did all the layout of the devices collapsing into the DC from ILM, Big Rock and other locations.
When we designed the network, it was the largest 10G network in the world, all based on FORCE10 equipment, as spec'd by ILM's Raleigh Mann (later netword head for Google)...
The original design was for fiber to the desktop, as they wanted all desktop machines to become a part of the render farm when not being used.

We were doing vendor selection from the RFP and holding interviews for each vendor to present their response to the RFP (The network was ~$50 million (this was 2004, so that was a really large number back then)
In the meeting with Cisco, Cisco performed a clown show, but the CTO for Lucas seriously (remember, Cisco 6500s was the core king at the time)
Lucas CTO: "Yeah, well we have CAT6 and Fiber to the desktop. When can you give me power over fiber so I can just run fiber to the desktop"
Blank stares from everyone.
(He sadly died of heart attack shortly after)

But here we are. We thought a fool, but I guess he was a visionary.
