Most of these prices are Amazon. The Motherboard is NewEgg.
Case: $110
PSU: $50
Motherboard: $210
CPU: $116
RAM: $210

About $700 total for parts (no drives). The 4TB WD Red drives are $125
each. The 850 EVO is about $100. And the lightly used WD Blue drive that
will be the system drive is $50. Total if I were buying with new drives
would be about $1350. A similarly configured diskless FreeNAS Mini (with
Avoton/Atom CPU) is $1000, and about $1900 with disks and read cache.
