I mean, I pirated the Windows 10 installation on my gaming PC. Massgrave scripts helped out though, so there's that.

Remember, there's absolutely nothing wrong with buying a used 7th gen Intel PC and filling that with [insert drive of choice]. An i7-7700T is still more powerful than even the newer Synology units.
So you built your own NAS, then. NAS is just an acronym, "Network Attached Storage". Not a singular line of products.
That said - I also feel the same way about Synology and the other "all-in-one NAS" brands. Expensive for what they are, which is essentially an incredibly cheap PC with a built in toaster. I built my NAS out of a 2014 Mac Mini (running OMV) and a Sabrent USB-C 4-bay drive dock, and even full of WD Reds, that entire rig is literally half the price of a DS920+. And more powerful.

I carry two laptops in my work bag regularly, a 15" and 14"
