I`m planning on doing exactly the same thing , when I have some cash
I got a cable from Visage Computers , to run my 80meg quantum and a 
big 3.5" . 

Cost 25 quid , but be warned , I had to phone many times to chase it 
up and it took about 3 weeks to arrive when end of the week delivery 
was promised :(
