Ok, yes, that's a brilliant idea - certainly one that I hadn't thought  
of....

What's the likelihood of any possible compatibility issues ? As I have no  
idea how to work that out.

Plus, would the new PC and/or 11.04 auto detect the old hard drive ? or  
would I have to work out how to make it so the system is "seen" ?

I'm very unsure as to whether that would need to be done before or after I  
start adding Ubuntu to the new PC.....
