This case looks awesome, seriously awesome.
I just wanted to make a suggestion: It looks like you have room at the front to put a character LCD display for temperature and other readouts. Have you considered this possibility?
Something like this:

Thanks Gea. I guess I have to wait for the next version of free bsd.
I was hoping that there would be some kernel module I could upgrade to just update the zfs version.
Hey Treadstone,
Any update on this? It seems that Norco have come out with the official expander chassis finally, but they're a bit expensive and it still seems the cheaper option to build expander chassis out of cheap 4224's. (you can read about them in the official norco thread).
I'd be very interested in a few of these.
But..
Aren't Norco already working on a cheap SAS expander based on this chassis series?
Edit: Also, the HP SAS Expander is PCI-E x8, not x4.
