Saving hard drive

Here's my problem....my old Pc will not boot, no beeps, no video. The power supply and cpu fan are running. It has the old style ram (fast page) I think. I took out all the attached cards (modems, etc) except the video card and nothing. I don't really care about this computer but would like the contents of the hard drive (It pertains to my business). Can I place the hard drive into another computer.....as an add on or a stand alone drive? This computer that I am using has an K-7 500 cpu. Please help me! Than You So Much Linda
