take an empty case, build it as a PC, put all the drives on some sata adapters, you will need some, maybe 2-3 with 4 sata ports each, and just share all of them over the nework, as a file server. If you don't want 12 partitions you might want to create JBOD partitions (unite the capacity of multiple drives under a single one without creating a RAID matrix). You might want to get cards with different controllers, will be easier to configure.
