If you already have an old desktop it might be possible to plug your hard drives in as second drives. Then you don't need to buy anything at all, take the side off and see if there is a spare plug

Duncan and Mick70, the problem is that these drive look like 2 1/2" and likely have different power feed arrangements to the physically larger drives normally fitted in full sized desktops.

One of these would probably work, but my earlier suggestion is a cheaper option, and has the benefit of leaving Mick with a useful external backup drive.
