What's your budget and is the NAS the only device you need to have KVM for?
Anything below $500 is good. I just need something that's versatile and also trustworthy.
Search eBay for AVOCENT 16 Port Digital KVM Over IP Switch DSR2020
New Avocent DSRIQ-USB for DSR1020 DSR2020 DSR8020 DSR1021 DSR2161 DSR4161
This is the route I went as well. I have a couple MPU2016s at different sites. Like, u/aodhsishaj indicated, they're pretty cheap on the used market; just bear in mind that you'll need a module for each machine. I think this makes sense if you have multiple machines, but I'm not so sure mine can power cycle connected machines (as in with AHCI controls). I can, however, reboot from the command line and interact with BIOS, etc.
