Ablecom NAS Chasis (8-bays)

Has anyone seen this out in the wild yet?

Apparently it is based on the 4-bay version currently in use by iXsystems for their FreeNAS Mini.

If so this should be a really nice solid case and the fact that it can fit up to 8 3.5" drives is icing on the cake.

Nice. I'd consider purchasing one of those depending on the internals design/quality for home storage. Maybe hit up iXsystems and see if they can get a hold of some. I searched a bit and couldn't find anything on the Internet.

Look like Supermicro using their 4 bay model - http://www.supermicro.nl/products/chassis/tower/721/SC721TQ-250B.cfm
