 There is a company called Corpsys at 408-330-5531 - They can build a disk 
array based on a Eurologic chassis with dual power supplies and a single 1GB 
fibre HBA with 7x36GB 10K RPM drives plus one cold spare (not in caddy) for 
$795.00. The unit comes with a 1 year warranty. This is what I use for my 
home RAC system.
