Andy... I think you are low on computer parts. Gotta stock up. :-) I think the USB adapter will plug into that Sata data connector - so that will get you a data connection. Find an old USB cable, cut off the one end and use it to steal 5 volts off of a second USB port to power up the drive. Once you start using a soldering iron to make connections .... there is no stopping. ;-) That should get you connected to your iMac without cracking the case.
