In short, I'm pretty much decided upon this case:
* Athena Power CA-SWH01BH8 Pedestal case
* http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811192058
* contains 2 SATAx4 Hot-Swap HDD bays
* sounds like good value for a case with hot swap
* got a better case?
I would probably go for a SuperWorkstation (www.supermicro.com), like
this one for example:
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/system/4U/7046/SYS-7046A-6.cfm
It's more expensive, for sure, than a combo of Athena case / MSI board,
but it surely rocks.
From Newegg, it's $900 :

Considering the case I wanted is $270.
Going with rough guesses:
* add PSU - $140
* add M/B - $200
And we're at $610
But the M/B I'm getting with the Supermicro is actually a $500 m/b.
As a cheaper alternative, you might want to consider buying a SuperMicro
(or Tyan) motherboard to put into your Athena case.
That may be an option, but if I did that, I don't think I'd be buying
the above board.
I take it you are using the above server? If so what RAM and CPU did
you put into it?
