Depending on your requirements, and price point.  how about an INTEL NUC.  I just got an I3 model for about $500 from amazon.  You might be able to find the older model on sale and save about $100.

The nice thing about this system is VERY quiet, small enough to just grab and go, don't need to worry about multiple boxes.  It will run Ubuntu with no issues, I have Scientific Linux running for my media server (PLEX) with minimal issues.

Ubuntu does just fine as a nas

What about NAS backups? Everything I have seen so far is either very expensive (tape drives), or very tedious (recordable DVD or BlRay) I started building a FreeNas, but the BSD that it runs on would not read the extra SATA card I bought, so I had to buy more and more expensive. Then the motherboard wouldn't boot off the USB. I still have a tall box small pile of drives that I never got to NAS for me. I understand that the latest Ubuntu will do ZFS, perhaps I should put all the pieces back together and see if I can configure an Ubuntu system to act as a NAS server.

Get a nas from Fry's electronics. Well worth the money. Also, buy a fire proof safe and mount the nas in the safe.

Will save your life if you have a fire. They make electronics safes. Don't rush into a burning house for hard drives. Pets and wives only bruh.
