$125 · 12 drive 2U rack mount chassis, with 80+ bronze power-supply

According to the purchase order (from 2011), this is a NORCO RPC-2212 case ($400), with a quality power supply ($75 ish). if you're looking for bulk storage, or need a bunch of spindles, this is a cheap solution. I used it for a the "far end" of a network raid-1 setup. No motherboard/cpu/ram/drives in this one. I have a slew of older drives 300 to 1000 GB, which I'd be happy to let go cheap. For what it is worth, the fans are relatively quiet. You will need to add a motherboard, CPU, RAM, drives, and probably add-in cards to access all 12 SATA ports. I will have another listing for a complete system with a xeon E3 setup.
