Just one more question: anyone know if the cooling in a 4U Inter-Tech case (3x120mm fans blowing over the motherboard) will be sufficient enough to cool these cards? I can imagine hooking up 16 drives to it will get it hot.

Depends on the ducting and fan placement. Air won't flow if it isn't forced, so if the air can get past without flowing over the heatsink there could be a dead spot that gets too warm. Most rack mount cases have pretty good airflow, but you should check the temperature after running to be sure. Keep in mind that airflow changes drastically with the case lid on or off, so be sure to check after normal running conditions and not open on the bench.
