I've got 2 boxes. One has 14 drives and a 480W PSU and the other has 15 drives and a 600W PSU. It's
not rocket science.
Where did you find reasonably priced cases to hold so many drives? Each of my home servers top out at 8 data drives each - plus a 20Gb one to boot from.
For one of them I used a modified CD duplicator case (9 5.25" bays) and the other one I used a nice
tall tower. All except 4 drives are in Supermicro hotswap bays. Aside from the Supermicro bays
(which do look nice and keep the drives very cool) these machines are chewing gum and duct tape jobs.

Having said that, they are chewing gum and duct tape jobs that have had a downtime of less than 4
hrs/year over the last 3 years.
