Mr Rackables has a chassis lised that is an even better deal than the SC846 SAS2 expander chassis some of us bought a couple of months ago:
3U Supermicro 16 Bays Storage Server Chassis SC836E26 R1200 SAS2 836EL2 6Gbs | eBay
SuperMicro SC836E26-R1200
- 4u 16 bay 3.5" drive chassis
- Includes dual ported SAS2 expander backplane (SAS2-836EL2)
- dual redundant 1200w Platinum PSUs (these are the efficient & quiet model - though 1200w is probably overkill)
- Rails
This one is a steal @ $345+50. They've listed it OBO so you might be able to grab it for even less.
