Armed with a Sandy Bridge-based Celeron CPU, QNAP's TS-470 handles the traffic from four gigabit Ethernet connections. Or, with the addition of a 10 GbE upgrade card, it can be made to push well over 1 GB/s, providing you use the right storage.

4 Drive fail, If the drives are in raid 5, then were talking 300MB/s transfer max. 4 NIC team doesn't matter unless were talking 8+ drives and 1 hell of a switch.
TD430 running x8 WD 4TB Reds in raid 5 with 2 LANs in Team yielded 700MB/s with 20TB raid array allocation.
This NAS is junk with crap transfer

I'm not so sure the HDMI port being connected to your TV is much of a selling point at $1,000! With the size of the device you could pretty much emulate it with a Mini-ITX motherboard, four bay hard drive backplane (the QNAP bays look almost exactly like one of the IcyBox models) and you can fairly easily pick up a good gigabit Ethernet card. The only thing the QNAP really does that you can easily do yourself is the case, but if you're only concerned with features then any decent Mini-ITX case with room for the drives, or back-planes + drives, ought to do just fine.
So ehm… yeah, other than the custom case I'm not really convinced this is great value for money at all.

Remember it's without HDD's, so you only need a weak CPU on a mini-itx platform with 4GB of memory. Use either an i3 or an APU, something 65W or less. Case's are $50~75 USD with a PSU. Since we're not using a large dGPU, actual power requirements are going to be ~100W or so system wide.
Now my personal preference is to use a M350 case with an external MediaSonic enclosure connected via eSATA. The enclosure costs $120 to $190 USD depending on which you get. The PRORAID is $190 and does the RAID in HW with it's own XOR processing chip and memory. Should the server crap itself, I can disconnect the array and plug it into another system with eSATA or USB3 and still get access to my data.
