Do you have any opinion on the suitability of a FUJITSU MEGARAID LSI 2008 DUAL MINI SAS D2607-a21 similar to those listed at http://www.ebay.com/itm/181152217999?_trksid=p2048036#shId ? Looks pretty similar to me... maybe identical if I'm not using any hardware raid capabilities? Possibly can be got for half the cost of the LSI 9211-8i. Case-wise a http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/shinobi looks the best/cheapest option availble to me. Hopefully the 2 front fans will cool the main array enough, and I can jury-rig another fan for the extra drives mounted in the 5.25" bays.
