If you're really in this market, prowl the surplus sellers for an HP DL180g6
with the 12x3.5 SATA/SAS front. Those machines commonly come with the
fiberchannel card in them for free.
Figure $2-500 if you shop hard enough, for a dual-quad Xeon machine with
decent RAM. And dual power supplies.
I am, as you might imagine, *very* fond of surplus HP servers.
And in this class, the fan noise is a given anyway. :-)
Cheers,
