Given their limit of 4 disks, I really doubt you'll get significantly
decent performance out of them. 

We've recently bought some (15?) Thecus 8800s as cheap VM storage,
they're dirt cheap and perform relatively well. 

(https://www.andymillar.co.uk/blog/index.php/2010/02/24/work/thecus-8800-sequential-io-performance/)

They support ISCSI and up to 8 disks, getting the Pro model will allow
you to fit an additional quad port GigE or dual port 10GigE card if you
want more than 1 gbit connectivity to your device.

Dell Equallogics are also pretty good for "cheap" storage. The Dell
support is very good.
