For those among us that want "the mother of all FreeNAS systems," Unix Surplus has a good (not necessarily great) deal on 74-bay Supermicro systems with 2x v2 e5 processors and 256GB RAM for $1146+ $250 shipping. This box is the next level up from the 847 boxes (45 bays) discussed on this board.
This is a good price (I've seen these at 1500+/- recently) although $250 for shipping seems high. If you are local to the Bay Area and can get them to allow local pick-up, this is a good deal.
For those that care, this model is 6047R-E1R72L2K. Its details are here: https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/4U/6047/SSG-6047R-E1R72L2K.cfm
