I have 2 synology and a home-made NAS

1. I would never store my personal stuff in the home-made NAS
2. Old CPU eats so much power, hot, doesn't support newer decoding, converting video or photo is slow.
3. If you happen to use xpenology, then you will find not worth the time dealing with new version and compatibility.
4. Make sure you don't use cheapo PSU and low-end board. I've burned several PSU and some capacitior on mobo.
5. Security issue.

If you want one for dirty sharing like BT, testing, crap storage, then sure.
If you are storing your memoriable stuff like photo, video, homework, I would not recommend unless you have tons of knowledge on NAS.
