Well, [sound of crickets] it looks like I've narrowed it down to this box:
Synology DS216+II NAS DiskStation
Once I get it & before I put drives in, I'm upgrading the ram.
Now I'm trying to figure out what size drives to get for it..
I’ve been running openmediavault for a while now and I want to move to a commercial product in the near future.
I’m looking for a NAS in the same price range as you and keep coming back to the QNAP 431P because it is a 4bay device and the reviews are better than most.

Most people suggest going with synology or QNAP due to the OS but for $250-300 it’s hard to find a synology 4 bay device.
I used this thing. This one only gets you four SATA ports, but there are other models that'll get you more. I chose this one because of the price and I didn't want the card to add any sort of hardware RAID. I wanted to just add more ports and pass the disks to FreeNAS for RAID.
I believe Dell makes two kinds of OptiPlex's. Small form factor and Large form factor. Mine was the LFF. I'm not sure about the differences in motherboards between the two.
If I recall correctly, I put this card into the 1 PCIe 16 slot, leaving (2?) more available PCIe ports.
