I've seen one datacentre with cages in the server room, but that was there for security: they sublet space out to customer-facing companies that are responsible for renting out space on racks. It wasn't a total-surround rack, just from the floors to the walls.
yeah it depends on who built it and what budget....
I have seen plenty fo the kinds you mention...
