Well 170 for an 8 disk box with PSU is not too bad considering what you get.
Alternatively try using their bridge boards and building a case yourself but I get the feeling that will turn out more expensive in the long run.
NAS on the cheap Netgears SC101 :

Although the software has had great reviews the box itself seems to problematic with noted issues of overheating plus average transfer rates.
Yeh for real NAS I'd use a cheap linux box or maybe even a fast embedded solution with some NAS software. No way would I pay silly NAS prices and remember thats without the disks !
