You can get comparatively much more for much less if you look carefully at the used market and spend some time building it for yourself. My 5 bays home NAS cost me just a bit over €130, excluding disks of course: €46 for a SUPERMICRO X7SPA-L mainboard and €88 for a Ultron RPS19-G3380 case, power supply included. All purchased from ebay sellers. I already had the memory modules plus an additional slow SATA controller I use for a non RAID disk, so had to buy only the disks locally. It runs XigmaNAS and has been rock solid with multiple 1 year+ uptimes interrupted only for maintenance or disk upgrades.
