Here's what the internet has been waiting for (the arm is my wife's and not mine).

And a question...

At our house we use this application called emby. It's a media streamer that is very similar to Plex. At this time we have to 4TB drives that store our media. Everything was fine when these drives were in my old computer because the computer was hidden away. Now that I have a fancy looking case we've decided to put the case on the desk. We've also put the hard drives in the new case. The problem is that it's close to our heads and the drives are very noisy. Is there some sort of device I can purchase that will allow me to remove the drives from the case but still allow the server software to connect to the drives via the network?

I know there are NAS devices but they seem very expensive for what I need. I don't need anything to be backed up or to be transcoded from the device itself as the software on my PC will do that. I just need an external standalone...thing...that the server software can connect to and then stream to the devices in the house.
