I don't see anything that would be cheaper than a DS923 from Synology, which costs 570 plus the drives. The cheapest I see still costs me 1200 Euro for everything.

I didn't even bother getting the best price. I just selected things that would work well.
Get an LSI HBA in IT Mode for another $60 to add another 8 drives.
The case was chosen because it can support 11 drives. It comes with six bays by default but you can buy packs of two bays for $15.
As is, this will cost ~$560 plus the drives and allow you to use eleven 3.5", but cheaper and better options for the PSU, mobo, SSD and memory are out there. I just selected things that would be useful for what you need and provide better hardware than a Synology.
If you don't need as much storage, you can shave off $160 with a cheaper case and skip the HBA.
Nah, you need to build a PC or pickup a older server. I went with Synology and it ended up close to $1k with drives 😭
I built a Ryzen 5800X machine using a cheap AsRock motherboard and three 8tb WD Red drives for about $600 USD. I did reuse the case, power supply, and NVME cache drive from an old build. I'm running Unraid and it has been great!
I went with Toshiba drives, but debating that decision. 😄
