One of the surprises I got from building a basic server out of a
standard motherboard was its relatively low power usage (I measured it,
I'm not going by the labels on the equipment). There's just the
motherboard, no plugged in cards. The fans are temperature controlled,
so very quiet (some cases make fan motor noise much worse by resonating
along with it).
The non-surprise is that you can put on it what you want. Prebuilt NAS
devices are limited to what they provide and allow. Some have a very
short lifespan, in various ways (software updates, heat death of
components, just to name two).
Here's another thought: If you're thinking of a NAS as a way to handle
off-site backups (moving the NAS here, to there, keeping it in a
different place than your original data), some of them are not very
robust.
