I recently acquired a MacBook from a friend and have since retired my old Dell PC to the closet. I've heard of people removing their HD's and using them as portable externals. My question is, could I use the HD out of the Dell (PC) and use it as an external HD for my MacBook?
PC Laptop HD to be used as external HD for MacBook?

You definitely can, all you need is a hard drive enclosure. All depending if your old Dell is a laptop or desktop, you should get either a 2.5in or 3.5in size enclosure, respectively. Both Tigerdirect and Newegg have good deals on them.
