If I wipe my old pc hard drives of the OS, etal, can I then use the hard drives as external storage and use the dvd player? If yes, how would I connect old PC to new PC so new sees it as another drive (like usb stick)
 
You need some OS in that old PC in order to have network connectivity and file and storage sharing so others pc can connect to it, you could simply leave the OS in that old pc, make a folder (it could be one folder per user) and share it with write permissions, finally you could connect it to your pcs as a "network drive" so they can use it as a external storage.
