You make a good point. We've traditionally passed on creating a rackmount solution because the market is flooded with highly capable systems and we've had a focus on small embedded appliances, but the demand has kept up and we couldn't keep passing. This system isn't a solution for all, but the truth is some folks require a low powered, low noise server without all the horse power (and cost) of the latest hot rod Xeon. Matt, thanks for writing!

The rack enables them to stack a numerous amount of servers that wouldn't be possible with the form factor of the standard box. Why would one choose to fill their rack with such a low level of capability when their goal is to increase service availability with superior performance?

Yes, that would be more that 1U, but no more than 3U. Hot swap 3.5" trays would be nice too, but not manditory. I do hope that RAID 5 drivers are available for Linux so that the NAS would boot from a flash module/compact flash card. There is nothing wrong with a case that needs rails either.
