I only see 15 disks in your CM stacker.
I designed and built a system for work with the CMStacker and relocated the
power and IO panel from the top slot to the side cover (where the spot for a
small fan is) and it works great. A single Seasonic 600AS powers the entire
system nicely with PF of 0.98. This unit is designed for small heat
signature nearline storage so performance wasn't a primary factor. With
16x750gb and a Geode-NX processor board the entire system runs right around
253w.
I ran into acumulative vibration issues right off the bat and had 3 drive
failures within the first 2 months not to mention the slow oscilating drone
it produced. taking 2 of the 4 drive carriers and flipping them upside down
so that 1/2 the drives were spinning the other direction solved the
vibration problem and it's been running solidly for 2+ years now in near
silence.
For anyone using more than a single one of these drive sleds, If your data
is important to you, I seriously urge you to consider staggering the
orientation of them, however ugly it may appear.
You've been warned ;)

Subject: [zfs-discuss] Holding disks for home servers
On the third upgrade of the home nas, I chose
http://www.addonics.com/products/raid_system/ae4rcs35nsa.asp to hold the
disks. each hold 5 disks, in the space of three slots and 4 fit into a
http://www.google.com/search?q=stacker+810 case for a total of 20
disks.
But if given a chance to go back in time, the
http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/mobilerack/CSE-M35TQ.cfm
has LEDs next to the drive, and doesn't vibrate as much.
