Since you mentioned NAS, a micro system isn’t the best as there is no room for a high capacity 3.5 inch drive.
I have a HP 600 G2 with a i5-6500 in a small form factor (SFF). It cost a whole $55 and has room for one 2.5 drive and 2 3.5 drives.

I think it is slightly high on price, but not too bad. Enough RAM/storage to get started, but expect to add more of both. Virtual machines eat more RAM so using containers (LXC or docker) will allow you to run more in 8GB.
