This is one segment where build-your-own is still *way* cheaper than any of these crazy setups:
Intel Pentium G620T: $83
Intel DB65AL: $85
8GB DDR3: $50
Hyper 212+ with fans removed: $20
Fractal Design Mini: $100
Corsair CX430: $40
FreeBSD: $0
Total without disks: $378
5 * Hitachi 5k3000: $700
Stick the disks in a raid-z, and wham bam, there's $1078 for 12TB of RAIDed NAS.

Any NAS device needs ECC RAM and the ZFS file system. Your setup covers the second, but not the first, since Intel only supports ECC on Xeons.
Also, you should always be using Seasonic for power supplies.

1) I disagree about the necessity of ECC, but sure, drop in a 1220L and a C202 board instead if you like.
2) Corsair rebrands Seasonic PSUs.
