There’s a crap tonne of youtube videos showing people building them on the cheap and quite a few that use low-powered Celeron boards to keep power usage down.
It depends on your needs. If you need your NAS to also run your home server, you may need more (yet a N100, say, has h265 HW decoding) but for just running storage, a up to date Celeron will be more than adequate.

Celeron is x86 and quiet bad at its job as far as I have always seen. Benchmark would be nice.
