unbranded prebuilt vs off the shelf

I previously asked about a Urgreen or Terramaster NAS, but ive seen this unbranded prebuilt PC that I only need to add drives, Ram and an OS it the specs looks vastly better while being cheaper.

Does anyone have any experience with these machines? am I missing anything?

I want a home NAS to store my data, view photos and videos remotely and run docker containers. Maybe run a windows or linux VM if possible but its not a must.

I've messed about with using my Mac mini as a server/nas using next cloud and docker and accessed it via my home VPN and that was good enough, so ideally I would want access/performance the same or better.

I've elected for a 4 bay has as I want to slowly upgrade storage when my finances allow it.

I have experience with Synology at work but its too expensive and im on a budget so I've narrowed it down to the following models since they're in a similar price range but id like to know which model is best recommended for my spec..

URGREEN DH4300 Plus

TerraMaster F4-425 Plus

TerraMaster F4-425
