byDefault.. you are MUCH better off just building your own NAS computer.. I mean you can go very light with parts.. and it will most likely cost you cheaper than DROBO with network mind you. DROBO you have to buy that thing extra which is not cheap.
The only real investment you need to get for your own NAS is a nice big case that can house up to 6-8 5.25" drives. The reason is that you can buy hot-swappable racks like this:

And you can build a kick ass RAID5 and JBOD file server....
Definitely suggest that over buying Drobo.. yes, it will be a bit of a hassle making everything set up but you will save money, have more drives and have maximum expandability.
