Late night searching session made me find two different 60 bay chassis. They both look like expanded versions of the old Sun Fire Thumper chassis (but those only had 45 drives right?)
Quanta M4600H
Form Factor：4U Chassis
Host Interface：(4) 6Gb/s mini-SAS ports per SAS Interface Module
HDD Support：(60) 3.5" and 2.5" SASII and SATAIII hot-swappable with dual-port access. (SATA drive requires optional Active-Active MUX)
Power Supply：(2) 1400W high efficiency redundant PSUs
Weight: 80.11lb w/o drives 187.39lb w/ 60x drives
Link here. $6,900 from rackmount pro
DataOn Storage DS-1660

I figured we may as well start making a thread for this type of enclosure so we can search for deals on them. If you look at the two designs, there is an extra centerline brace on the DataON Storage one which makes me think two different ODMs.
Proware EPICa EP-4643J/JD-S6S6
60 or 64 drives in this one.
