Just try build your own nas from scratch, from my experience its much better than buying branded ????, if you need help just ask.

It is only about design, how important you data is?, The capacity you need? and last the scheduled backup?

[mksazzam]

The minimal configuration to have are, Two hard drive as RAID1 configuration (Mirror), one hard drive for scheduled backup.
