How to use an external enclosure?

Hello,

 

I have had these 2 NAS machines for years:

- 1 old Readynas with 6 HDDs
- 1 large PC tower case converted to a Unraid NAS with 9 HDDs

I am willing to merge them into one big Unraid NAS with all the HDDs.
I was thinking of buying a 15 bay external enclosure for that and I was wondering how to work with that.
I mean what runs Unraid?
I suppose I need some external small form factor PC or something right?
How would it be connected to the external enclosure?
What kind of machine this should be to run 24/7/365 ?

Thanks
