You can get NAS enclosures without hard disks - just google to find some. The cost of these things is virtually same for the ones without a hard disk or without hard disk (for the good ones).

But if you are not intending to have network storage, all you need is a usb hard drive enclosure (much cheaper) but a good brand (not cheap chinese one).

Have a look at the Synology DiskStation range.

Build your own out of the old computer. I had an old PC pack up, bought 2 x 2TB drive and put Freenas on the main drive. It worked out a lot less expensive and I have a 2TB mirrored NAS drive for about £160.
