Thecus have a NAS box that would be suitable for most of my needs, but I
don't feel like paying €800 before installing any storage.
I was looking at that too - but I think that 800 includes 7 1TB disks!

No; that is sadly not the case; the Thecus box does not come with disks
installed. I used to have a Thecus 5200Pro; I bought the disks separately.
I would recommend the TranquilPC BBS2 over the Thecus, for what it's worth.
Only 5 disks rather than 7, but much less hassle to install Linux etc.
