NAS or External SATA HDD Dock?

[Jmac]

Should have mentioned though, the price is a guesstimate WITHOUT drives....
If you dont already, check out pccasegear's prices

so, been having a look at it all... dont think that MB comes with CPU/RAM
the ones that do are either an atom, or older dual core AMD... and if i went mini-ITX i would turn it into a HTPC
been looking around and found the following:
I3 processor ($140) Intel Core i3 2100 [BX80623I32100] - $135.00 : PC Case Gear
that motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3 Mini-ITX Motherboard B3 [GA-H67N-USB3-B3] - $149.00 : PC Case Gear
Lian Li case (only one with support for 4+ HDD's) Lian Li PC-Q08B Black HTPC Case [LL-PC-Q08B] - $155.00 : PC Case Gear
to get a PSU that supports 4+ sata HDD's, looking at this: Antec EarthWatts 500W [EA-500D] - $85.00 : PC Case Gear
+ ram ($30 for 2GB or $50 for 4GB) and 1 new HDD ($70)
looking at ~630-650

if anyone can find a way to drop that down, whilst still keeping a HTPC capable of HDMI out @ 1080p and support for 4 HDD's, i'm open to suggestions

Just found this as I'm thinking of getting another NAS - Main List Network Storage > NETGEAR, Buffalo, LaCie, Synology Inc, Iomega | ht.com.au

Buffalo Quad bay $248 checking Google I found Whirlpool forums have info and mixed reviews on it but depending on your needs, still deciding if I get this one or spend another $50 and go for the Netgear at $298 - would like a 6 bay but that jumps to the 1k mark so a 4 bay is good enough with my 1TB drives - the other 2 I may just plug in via USB into the 4 bay..................
