Hey, I'm currently working on rebuilding the Chenbro-Cleversafe-Slicestor-1440 (48 Bay SAS) for home use.
If you don't mind noise, it is fine in the current setup you get it. However, if like me, you don't want to drawn your entire home in a white noise than my current journey may be of interest to you.
I've taken more pictures than I probably should have, and uploaded only a subset of them. Yet, there are still more than you probably care to look at. You can view the album here. I will choose certain pictures for this thread.
