Yes, please write more about this. The photos are terrific and I appreciate the many useful observations you've made. For my home NAS I chose the Chenbro ES34069 and the biggest problem was finding a SATA/PCI card that would work with OpenSolaris and fit in the case (technically impossible without a ribbon cable PCI adapter). After seeing this, I may reconsider my choice.
For the SATA card, you mentioned that it was a close fit with the case power switch. Would removing the backplane on the card have helped?
