ASRock Rack now has a complement of motherboards that competes nicely with Supermicro, so you might want to take a look at them.

If you find a model that catches your eye, just post it here so we can comment on it.

Cases are always a very personal choice, but for 12 drives, you're looking at either a rackmount or a regular ATX chassis with hot swap chassis in the 5.25" bays.

Kingston RAM is a bad idea. The recommended RAM is in the RAM FAQ for Supermicro X10 boards. The link is in my sig.
