Why not just get a cheap NAS?
Because the NAS devices I've used are slow. Even a cheap low-end PC is faster for backing up files. Maybe I haven't tried the "good/fast" NAS devices (I consider a ReadyNAS NV+ at least a high end prosumer device, and I don't consider it fast), but I haven't been impressed with speed. In a multi-user backup scenario, I don't want it taking 3 hours to backup 10 gigs of data every day.
