    If you have a desktop or tower you can simply pop it on to spare cables in the box. Do you know whether it is IDE or SATA? IDE is like a wide strap, the other is like a narrow band.

    The IT guys in the job would do that for you otherwise why not try someone like marxcomputers.ie in Fairview.
