I've always had good luck/experience with pc-pitstop.com for this sort of thing. I've used their 4-bay tower enclosure and can recommend it. This 12-bay one looks like it's the same but 3x as tall: http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sata_enclosures/scsata12t.asp You also might want to check out something like SuperMicro's SC826 chassis, especially if you need rack-mount. See http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/chassis_storage.cfm for a good overview of what they have.
