Should this be a quiet solution ? If not, supermicro has a nice
storage solution where you can put in 16 SATA or SAS disks, if it
contains hardware raid, that's also a non-issue since you'll be able
to use JBOD mode, having linux handle the raid functionality, with
16x750GB you can use RAID5 with a hot spare...
The chassis also has quite a few PCI/PCI-X slots, however i didn't
look for further details, it showed up in our dutch C'T magazine.

I can help you out more directly if you contact me directly since i
don't visit these newsgroups frequently, you can get my phone number
after replying directly to me.
