Raspberry Pi 4
I would suggest using a raspberry pi for this purpose.
If you buy this kit from Vilros Raspberry Pi 4-2GB RAM. You will get the passively cooled heat-sync case that will keep your pi cool and noiseless, with the added benefit of getting all the parts you need to get started with a pi. https://amzn.to/3GP4qoJ - The link is Amazon Affiliate link, which helps me fund the projects I work on.
