A node doesn't have to cost $100. Here's how:
$10: Raspberry pi zero w - a low cost alternative to the pi 3
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5y73mi/bitcoin_node_on_raspberry_pi_zero_w/
(There are also many other even cheaper alternatives to this, that would also run a full node)
$5-10 (depending on how many you buy and from where) A 32 GB SD card. Considering that the LTC blockchain is only 10GB right now. This should be enough.
A fan is not needed for a raspberry pi. Just like your phone or your tablet doesn't have a fan.
$5: for extra bits and pieces: Cables, wires, production cost and maybe a low cost case.
That's $20-25, leaning towards the $20. Of course this isn't counting in a profit for the seller. But seriously $100?
And then if you are considering building these in bulk,
100+ pieces, you could cut the cost down to even around $10. A price where many people would support the LTC network by buying one.
You should be able to, I don't use FreeNas so I can't guarantee it should work for you, but this guide describes how to use docker with freenas: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-docker-containers.53972/
And this guide explains how to use docker for a litecoin node: https://github.com/salessandri/docker-litecoind
The benefit of using this docker image is that you don't need to install and configure the litecoin daemon, it comes preinstalled in a docker image. You just pull the docker image, start it with the command described in the link and docker then makes your computer/nas treat the image like a separate operating system that only has what it needs to run a litecoin node. When you start it it immediately starts the litecoin node and voila, you're done!

Does it provide any benefit to run a node? Do you earn LTC?
