Interesting. I only skimmed through it all, but only 2x760Watt PSU's for all those drives ?? I guess that's ok, 20-25watts per drive roughly would leave enough for the rest.
And a single boot drive?? I would at least RAID0 that. Seems like a huge point of failure, though I guess it's pretty simple to swap out if it fails as they are likely standard images.

Neat. Thanks for the linky, Jeff.
(Still haven't read it ALL. Lots o' stuff there.)
