also needed to plug the Case Fans, a Molex To 3-Molex Power Connector Cables ($3,25)
the next 4 HDD's will also require a 4-in-3 Drive Cage ($25)
also needed, 4 SATA-II cables ($2,50 ea.) Volume Discounts
also needed, a Molex To 4-SATA Power Connector cables ($8)

04 HDD's = ($332) + ($3,25 x 1) + ($25 x 1) + ($2.50 x 2) = $365,25
08 HDD's = ($332) + ($3,25 x 1) + ($25 x 2) + ($2.50 x 6) + ($8 x 1) + ($15 x 1) = $423,25
12 HDD's = ($332) + ($3,25 x 1) + ($25 x 3) + ($2.50 x 6) + ($8 x 2) + ($15 x 1) + ($11,25 x 1) + ($100 x 1) = $567,50
16 HDD's = ($332) + ($3,25 x 1) + ($25 x 4) + ($2.50 x 6) + ($8 x 3) + ($15 x 1) + ($11,25 x 2) + ($100 x 1) = $611,75
(So going from the 4 HDD's Level to the 16 HDD's Level requires an extra $246,50. HDD's not included)
