Post subject: NAS recommendations?

I have a DVR here running 22 analog cameras on a 240fps/32-input capture card, plus five 1.3MP IP cameras. Cameras are all recording at between 3 and 7 fps.
Needless to say, this eats up a lot of space: I have 3TB internal and the thing is barely keeping three weeks of data. The client wants 90 days(!!!)
So I'm looking at a NAS RAID box of some sort... something rack-mount would be nice, but depth is limited, and all the rackmount units I've looked at so far only hold four drives... and we're looking at probably needing 8-9TB for the amount of storage they want. It would also require a new switch, as the one I have now only has two gigabit ports in addition to the 24 10/100s.
I've considered a couple of DROBO boxes as well, but I don't think the USB interface will handle the throughput I need on a sustained basis.
Anyone done something like this, and can you suggest anything for me? There's room in the bottom of the rack as well as on top of the rack for a larger box to sit, too...
