For several years I used NETGEAR ReadyDATA 516 (RDD516) as both, desktop 
and NAS. It's equipped with HDMI port, so connecting monitor (up to 
1920x1200) is not a problem. Main problem was 13-3220 CPU. I upgraded to 
i7-3770 and active cooling.
So, there are NAS device capable of acting as a desktop PC but it may 
require some effort.
