Ok, were ready!! let's roll!!
the first 4 HDD's will require a 4-in-3 Drive Cage ($25)
also needed, 3 SATA-II cables ($2,50) Volume Discounts
also needed to plug the Case Fans, a Molex To 2-Molex Power Connector Cables ($1,50)
the next 4 HDD's will also require a 4-in-3 Drive Cage ($25)
also needed, 4 SATA-II cables ($2,50 ea.) Volume Discounts
also needed, a Molex To 4-SATA Power Connector cables ($8)
also needed, a 2 Port PCI-Express x1 Sata-II Card ($15)
the last 4 HDD's will again require a 4-in-3 Drive Cage ($25)
also needed, 4 SATA-II cables ($2,50) Volume Discounts
also needed, a Molex To 4-SATA Power Connector cables ($8)
also needed, a 2 Port PCI-Express x1 Sata-II Card ($15)
also needed, a 2 Port PCI Sata Card ($15)
So, to sum it up, the different levels look like this:
04 HDD's = ($244) + ($1,50 x 1) + ($25 x 1) + ($2.50 x 3) = $278
08 HDD's = ($244) + ($1,50 x 1) + ($25 x 2) + ($2.50 x 7) + ($8 x 1) + ($15 x 1) = $336
12 HDD's = ($244) + ($1,50 x 1) + ($25 x 3) + ($2.50 x 11) + ($8 x 2) + ($15 x 2) + ($15 x 1) = $409
(So going from the 4 HDD's Level to the 12 HDD's Level requires an extra $131, HDD's not included)
