I am looking to expand storage and want to create a flexraid server with some left over parts.
Was thinking something like this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128447
With 5 of these cards eventually
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816132017
So that would be 20 sata connections with 6 onboard for a total control of 24 drives to go into one of those 24 bay norcos eventually but in an old case to control like 5-6 seagate 1.5tb drives for now.
I still wish those norco cases had a way to squeeze one more 3.5" drive in them but I guess eventually put some sort of SSD in there or lose a storage drive and just have 23 drives as part of the flexraid.
Oh and do you think something like this

or this

For power
