Are there any JBOD disk chassis, housing 20 disks or so, that is not deep? Many disk chassis, such as norco, has space for a motherboard. Thus the chassi is deep. I dont need no motherboard, so I can use a shallow disk chassi. Do you know of any?
 
Norco has options like the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816133046

It is about 7 inches shorter than the 4220. It isn't super shallow, as you still have to mount power supply and other external connectors, but it isn't as big. You also have the option of multiple arrays like standalone 6-10 bay DAS external units that use a power brick, however most of those are FW-800/USB2.0, which limits performance.
 
picker,
I dont need drives back and in front. Only in the front, thus a front chassi can be shallower. Do you know of another chassi?

Anyone?

UPDATE:
adi, you talk about another solution. I dont understand. Can you post some links?
