Holy cow! $1,699 to $3,799" for "10TB or 12TB" of storage?
Case with 8 internal bays: $40
600 Watt Power supply: $35
MB with 8 SATA3 ports: $115
2.5gig dual core processor: $73
8 2TB drives: $800
1 Gig of RAM: $30
Total: $1093, for 16TB of storage. Yeah, yeah, you need one of them as a spare drive for redundancy, and you need an OS. You also need a few minutes to assemble and install. But for that price? Why pay twice as much? Hell yeah, roll my own, baby!

A high quality and quiet home NAS with 4GB and 15GB RAID5:
Fujitsu server $299.99 (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6939649), sold out now.
6x 3TB drives, $959.94, less if you buy 5400rpm drives.
----------
$1259.93 + 2 spare 250GB drives
