Anyways, NVIDIA wanted a custom...

I have 25 HDDs already wired up with uber clean wire management including SATA data cables. I need a raid solution (least expensive = better) that can use the existing SATA cables (meaning I do not want to use those SAS to SATA cables as I already have cables installed).
Any suggestions?
My Son wanted a LAN rig so I decided to do a build based on Danger Dens 450 case. The case is designed to be air-cooled but I decided I wanted to fit some real H20 inside (not one of those self-enclosed kits). The build will be upgraded to ASUS' mini-ITX Sandybridge mobo when it is released. GPU...

Got a client who wants a pimp arse water-cooled Mac. I would like to use normal DIY hardware and install the MAC OS - probably boot camp or parallels Windows. I am a pretty decent DIY builder (www.outoftheboxmods) but have not messed with a custom Mac build before.
thanks in advance for any...
