You do realise how much of a massive overkill this is and how much you
are overspending?
I appreciate the comments and feedback. I'd also appreciate
alternative suggestions in addition to what you have contributed so
far. Spec out the box you would build.
$1200, and I'll run any benchmarks you'd like to see:

This box is really only for backups, so no fancy CPU. The sub-$100
celeron seems to not impact ZFS performance a bit. It does have ECC
memory, and a fancy "server" mainboard.
That's pretty neat. Especially given it has 4x1TB of disks.
For my needs, I'd like a bigger case and PSU: $720 without HDD.

My system will have a minimum of 8 SATA devices (5 for ZFS, 2 for the
gmirror'd OS, and 1 for the optical drive). Thus, I'd still need to buy
another SATA controller on top of the above.
Thank you.
