Need external device to read hardrive that's not in a computer

[Dippeggs]

So, my family's computer finally died on us. I have my own computer, but the others in my family need to check they're emails and my dad worked a lot on the other. We're just buying a cheap already built computer from somewhere else, it's not for games, it's just for music and internet things.

Anyway, there's a lot of files on the old hard drive that we would like to keep. Videos, pictures, etc, so I need some type of external hard drive reader, but for a regular hard drive. Something that plugs into a USB or Firewire port.

Do you guys know of such a device?

just plug it into the new computer when you get it, and use it as a secondary harddrive

I wanted to get everything out of it, the important stuff, wipe it, then use it as an external hard drive for both our computers.

They don't need their hard drive to do it then.

Damn it, I said it has pictures and other stuff on it we wish to keep. Like our trip to D.C and my sisters competitions.
