2u 12-bay storage server
We are getting an increasing number of customers wanting massive cheap storage. I've seen a couple of these 2u 12-bay sata storage servers floating around the web. Anybody have any good suggestions? That sounds ideal to put a nice motherboard in a 2u server, 12x400gbyte sata drives with a 3ware controller running raid 5.
Where can I get the best/cheapest 2u 12-bay barebones server?

I can't recommend any 2U cases, but Supermicro has a nice 3U chassis with 15 hot-swap SATA bays. We just built a dual Opteron storage system with one, and it's very well made.
