Why would it be difficult to install four hard drives and one CD-Rom drive and one DVD drive in a single low-end system?

it might be difficult because the power supply cannot support the load. Check the wattage of your powersupply. It could also be because the interfaces for the devices (IDE, ATA, SATA, SCSI) don't match the type of interfaces on the low end system motherboard. Or it could be that they are all IDE devices and the device only supports 4 IDE devices (you mentioned 6 different pieces of hardware). Find out what sort of connection or interface types each device has and then check your motherboard documentation to see if it has enough of each type (or any!). You may need to get a new motherboard - or if you are not comfortable with that a new system :(

The difficulty lays in that you can only hook up 4 (E)ide devices One master and one slave per cable. so your hard drives would take up both ide connectors on your motherboard and leave you no way to hook up the optical drives.
