putting together a windows 2016 server tier'd SAN for homelab that will be accessed over 10GBE converged network. Buying a regular tower and putting these in

I currently need 2 things. I'd like to have a hot swap cage for the 4x SAS drives with a sff 8643 connector (as of yet I can't find any on the market).

I also need to find a solid hardware RAID card with two SAS3 connectors. Would love suggestions on a good card for these.

Lastly, I am probably going with just a standard tower for all of this to make the build easy but I would appreciate any suggestions on it.
