So I had the lovely issue of my power supply shorting out on my desktop today destroying the motherboard, video card, and processor. While this issue was incredibly fun and gave up on trying to fix my 4 year old dead lump, I was wondering what would be the best route to take to recover the data on the hard drives. I was thinking about simply buying an external enclosure and swapping around the drives to get the data off I wanted, but there may be an easier/cheaper way I'm missing.
