I built my own NAS (six drives in a Mini-ATX case) about three years ago. Creating a custom init system and immutable distro on it has been my primary hobby since, and I expect to be finished within another ~two years, by which point the drives will be reaching their life expectancies. On the plus side I'm pretty sure this is a me problem, and that anyone else would have stuck with Proxmox and had their siht together in 3-6 weeks-- but maybe that person would also be the type to prefer a Synology in the first place :p
I'd recommend both routes, but primarily synology unless you know you wanna geek out w/ it

Sounds cool! Be sure to post on HN about it when done. ;)
