most any server board that supports dual intel xeon 5500/5600 will let
you pretty easily add 24GB per CPU socket while using relatively
affordable 4GB dimms.

or whatever
you might look at these chassis, which are, IMHO, better engineered than
that backblaze thing
http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847E16-R1400U.cfm
this supports 36 SAS/SATA drives in a 4U (24 in front, 12 in back) and
has SAS2 backplane multiplexers so you don't need nearly as many
SAS/SATA cards
