Is anyone aware of a decent rack-mountable chassis that sports 12x3.5 hot-swap, supports mATX 19x19 mobo, full-height pci (ARC-1880), and is shallow (no larger than 19" deep)?

Hello Everyone! I am happy owner of an ARC-1880, Firmware V1.49, for many years. I find myself needing to build a new (much larger) volume. I'm looking for 10TB or greater per disk. RAID6. Looking to grow to roughly 7 drives with global hot spare. I have several questions... 1. Is anyone aware...

Sweet! I'm feeling pretty good about buying these then... what about expanding... would I be better off buying all 13 and building the array with all drives in advance or is it alright to start with 5 drives and expand 2, 3, or even 4 times? What sort of time length am I looking at with...

I suppose I could had been much clearer. I'll have two-three HTPC's through the house that will stream 1080p video (Including 3D) and FLAC audio as well as live TV. The server will also capture and record live TV for later playback using a Ceton card. House is wired for 10GbE using CAT6a...

Guys, Thanks for all the information in this thread - it is going to be extremely handy to me come build-time. I plan on building a home media server and have an 1880ix-12... RAID6+HotSpare for the config. I have a few questions though: 1. I was planning on buying 13 of the Hitachi 2TB 5K3000...
