Twenty years ago I might have liked that too, but these days I much prefer dedicated machines (MCUs like Arduino, P8X32A, R.Pico etc. or "single-board" (or rather "open-frame") computers like R.Pi, BBB etc.) for the acoustic noise alone (not to speak of power bill and electrical safety). USB or Ethernet (preferred for galvanic separation) on the PC does just fine to connect to those.
