We use the following at work, but it's still pretty cheap and pretty silent:
Chieftec WH-02B-B (9x5.25 bays)
filled with
2 x Supermicro CSE-MT35T
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/accessories/mobilerack/CSE-M35T-1.cfm
for regular storage, 2 x raidz1
1 x Promise SuperSwap 1600
http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?product_id=169
for changeable external backups
and still have 2 5.25 bays for anything interesting ;-)
other parts are regular SocketAM2+ motherboard, Athlon X4, 8G ram,
FreeBSD/amd64
