How much do you want to spend, do you want to put your own drives in?

Building your own will offer best bang per buck, there are a couple of lightweight linux distros which are designed for this.

I don't believe you will find any 5-bay NAS devices for less than you could build a kick-a$$ server yourself.

They are just not very popular in the consumer space, therefore, prices are high. The only reasonably-priced NAS devices are (a) 2-drive and (b) pre-configured for RAID-1 or RAID-0, and neither are implemented well..

Build a system based on a good RAID controller board (something with ICH10R) and run FreeNAS..
