Unless you hook them up to a Raspberry Pi. That is silent, takes very little electricity and can probably do what you want. Raspberry Pi takes care only of the CPU/board part not the price -in time&money, of inefficiently running a bunch of old H.D's & there controllers. In my view the small Raspberry Pi form is less significant in this case, though it is the cool thing in town. I would advocate an Arm board more similar to the W.D. Book & other designs. In IL, money wise, At less then $200 you are probably better-of just baying it of the shelf, unless you need the flexibility of your personal design (the education part can be done on a VM ;-)
