It might be as easy to build your own system based around an ITX motherboard. There are a number of ITX cases specifically aimed at NAS use. Where in the world are you? I'm in the UK and have used http://www.linitx.com to buy components for a number of small Atom based systems in the past. They're generally very helpful, support over IRC is excellent for putting a system spec together.
