Are you talking about connecting the external drives still in their enclosures or schucking them to use like any other internal drive? If the former, other than adding USB ports to yout PC I don't know how else. For the later, either PCIE SATA expander card or look into a used HBA (lots of Googling to learn all about those).
And if you are unsure what schucking is, like a clam, it's opening the external case to get that sweet pearl inside. The drives are generally as good if not better than 'internal' drives sold for higher prices.
If you are just buying new drives then look at option 2 above. You can build a sweet set-up with a PC case if it has capacity to hold a number of 3.5" drives and you don't have to go full NAS. I should know, I have 3 PC's with at least 10 drives each in them for my media. Still can't fit 6 other externals into cases. Yet....
