Suprise suprise, my desktop finally died. My new desktop's parts should be here Friday or Monday. So how am I going to get the data from my IDE drives now that my new desktop will be SATA?

Same trick I used with my laptop ... use a hard drive enclosure. With that said, asking for an enclosure at Best Buy is just painful. Instead of pointing me to the single IDE enclosure they had, he kept telling me to get a 750gig external HD. While I still nabbed an external HD on top of the enclosure, still, lets chill out on the upselling and tell me where I want is.
