Hi,

Spotswood is building me a case:

So we were just going to have 24 power and 24 sata directly connected.

But now I am thinking 24 individual backplanes:

And now the question, has anyone seen a backplane like this that has LED headers on the board, I can't quite tell if the one above has holes to solder the headers on?

Found this hires image of the board, do you think these are LED header holes?

Obviously I want 24 so a good price would also be awesome.

Thanks for looking.

I got a reply from pactech, all good headers are available.

Now I am thinking that I have 48 LED's to incorporate, any ideas?

So right now the case panels are solid, no holes for anything.

Some things that are going through my mind:

-Using an 8 x 8 LED matrix
-Somehow using the voltage on the headers to feed a microcontroller-based LCD

Basically I am looking for a cool way to visualise the power and busy LEDs for 24 disks.

Thanks for looking.
