Server Part Deals is selling Intel P4308XXMHGC server cases for $200 via Newegg. The 8 hot swap bay unit has 2 SFF-8087 connectors with no expander (each drive gets one SAS lane). The case can be racked, but does not come with a rail kit. The Service Guide has instructions to basically turn the case into components...pretty much everything can be removed. This can allow some serious modding for people who are skilled enough.
I am using a Supermicro motherboard (X11SRA), and the case uses an SSI front panel connector that doesn't match up with the motherboard, but the technical spec manual and these pins for a Raspberry Pi allowed me to use the Supermicro breakout cable to get all the functions supported by the motherboard to the front panel.
The power distribution board has 5 open sockets that use standard ATX 2x2 12V power connectors. I bought a GPGPU power cable so I could run my video card, but you can use the connectors for any 12V power you need.
