Hey Rudi, I'm finding myself tracing your footsteps here as we are
looking at going down a similar path.

How is that Thecus working out for you?

I googled it and hit this on Tigert Direct

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4831685&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs

though it is not clear to me how many drives that comes with - looks
like only 1 I guess.
