I'd love a low powered motherboard with 6-8 SATA, and a case with
perhaps 6 hot swap bays but designed for a low powered, fanless

Look at Supermicro's X7SPA-H. It's an Atom board with the ICH9R
chipset, and 6 on-board SATA ports.

That one has been out for a while, so there may be something newer
available now too.
