I aquired some cheap used SAS drives and am trying to setup a NAS with them. Other than getting a small case, normal motherboard and a SAS controller, are there cheaper options? A low end 3-4 bay NAS that can do SAS? Preferably room for some nvme drives for a cache

This is what i was expecting to hear, i was just hopeful someone knew something i didnt.
You would likely need to build a NAS with a HBA (Host Bus Adapter). I’m not aware of any low-end NAS systems that support SAS
You can robably get about any server and make a NAS out of that.
Building a NAS with SAS drives won’t be super easy or cheap. DAS, perhaps.
I would take a SAS DAS if you know of one.
