Not sure if this helps, but I recently purchased a 2.5" laptop IDE to
desktop IDE converter/adapter thingy recently - it lets you plug your laptop
hard disk drive into a desktop PC.  I got it from eBay from the vendor below
for £4.99 (£3 of which was postage & packing).  This vendor seems to have a
number of them for auction.  Mine took about a week to arrive:
