Corpsys on E-Bay sells these trays.  You can get a tray full
of 18GB'ers for $300-400.  I believe they may be the OEM for
these trays, but am not sure. 7x73GB + FC PCI card runs 
around $1K.  They are good folks to work with--if you can go
to the warehouse in Santa Clara, skip ebay and just call them
direct.
