Next up would be something more complicated in a tower with liquid cooling so I wouldn't have fan noise.
SATA is a must now. And you might consider some form of RAID too.
I'm sure you'll have some issues but you'll have fun too!

SATA is still slow junk. It's behind current SCSI technologies in bandwidth and way behind fibre-channel and switched fabric technologies.
RAID  It's a great bug spray.
There's nothing like having reduncancy but RAID is silly when the redundant partner is centimeters away. Save for the striping and consolidation features of RAID, it's really rather useless (save for those that sell this bill of goods).
