I’m looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I’m looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I’d also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I’d also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.
So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?

I don’t see it as one OR the other. Nextcloud is not a backup. I would install unRAID or OMV with SnapRAID (both are good for later adding disks of any size) and Nextcloud as a container so you can access your data everywhere AND back it up! Remember (as someone already mentioned), the 3-2-1 backup rule.
