Yes I know, I just wrote it so he wont buy a "kit" when all you need is that litte converter for the ide cable. Alot cheaper. If he buys a regular (non usb) converter it will also be alot faster to transfer.

Oh, okay. The way I read it, I thought you were saying he didn't need anything additional, whatsoever.
The thing is, even if he can find just that part, it will still cost nearly as much:

And, by getting the kit, he won't even have to open his desktop. Just plug in to any computer's USB port.
