One item I do not like are the special brackets you have to use for drives. Lenovo only ships what's needed for the drives ordered and no extras. It'd be nice if additional brackets were clipped to the inside of the case so you can add a DVD or floppy drive whenever you wanted without having to order parts from Lenovo. Dell ships extra brackets in all of their machines for free.
if you look on the back of your 3.5" and 5.25" bay covers, you should find the brackets necessary to install optical and floppy drives. the bracket fits on the left side of the drive (looking at it from the front) in the holes normally used for screws. three are shipped with the 5.25" bays and one with the 3.5" bay no matter how you order the system since they're either on the backs of the covers or in use with drives. i can't imagine why you'd need extras.
here is a photo of where you'll find extra brackets:
(note: mine only has one left because three are in use)
here's the bracket in use:
this EVGA board has one processor socket yet an X58/ICH10R chipset, 4-way SLI, and 7 total PCIe 2.0 x16 slots

math isn't my strong point but that's probably more than 32 lanes. 
the challenge would be in fitting all of those slots plus dual sockets and memory banks just as psuturtle said.
