The Nixsys N370-T70 is perfect, turn off all cashing and it can be a slow as a 486 =).
I really recommend it, I use a IcyDock for SSD drives and have seperate ones for DOS, Windows 95 and Linux.

Both Nixsys and Synology are overpriced but it saves me so much time and I can do what I actually like.
They allow me to use the devices as a hobby instead of building and maintaining them as a hobby ^^.
