If you're looking for something on an even larger scale, maybe have a look at the Backblaze Storage Pod blog posts. Although the hardware they use seems to be hard to get, it might give you some ideas. They actually use port multipliers, I actually wish they were as widespread (and as cheap) as USB hubs, so we all could simply put three or four disks to a single SATA port, but alas... Maybe next time.
