Hi Miknoz,
I'm using the Patriot Valkyrie Dual 3.5in NAS Enclosure. I bought it at PCCASEGEAR for $139.95. It may no longer be available, but some other vendors may still do have it. It's an excellent box. See specs below.
It has been replaced, I think by the Patriot Javelin which is a 4 bay unit supporting up to 12TB, but this is beyond your set budget.

10/100/1000 Ethernet
Built in RAID 0,1, JBOD
Supports SATA II, up to 4TB storage
Supports USB external storage
Supports Network file protocol CIFS/SMB/AFP/NFS/HTTP/FTP
