maybe, install your old HD as a 2nd HD in the new PC...watch out for the OS
mess though...
OH, does your new pc have a DVD / CD writer....

If you have a hispeed internet connection chances are you have a working
network interface card in the old PC. The new one will almost certainly have
one. Buy or build a crossover cable (if you don't have a hub already), set
up a workgroup and file sharing and just copy them across. You will find
lots of sources on the web to help with each of these steps. Non of them are
rocket science.
