Take the harddrive out of the computer. Take notice of the connection side of it - you're going to need to buy the appropriate enclosure. The most common types of connections are IDE and SATA. Buy the external harddrive enclosure that matches the connection type.
Once you've got the external harddrive enclosure, take it out of the package. If it isn't already disassembled, you should carefully do that now. It typically consists of the enclosure case, interface (the computer chip looking thing), a cable, and sometimes heat sinks.
If the enclosure for your external harddrive included heat sinks, screw them into the harddrive. Make sure they're facing the same direction. These will help keep your external harddrive from overheating.
Plug the hard drive into the interface. If it's SATA, this will be super easy. If you're working with IDE, be very careful not to bend the pins. Depending on the size of the drive, some of the connections may go unused. It depends on whether or not the external harddrive is big enough to require a power source.
Place the drive into the case. Some cases are built with a two part design (like the one here) while others use a slide-in design. Once the case is assembled, screen in the remaining screws to seal the external harddrive off.
Almost all external harddrives plug in from the outside using USB or firewire. From here, all you have to do is plug the cable from the external harddrive to your computer. The hard drive will mount on the computer just like a store bought external harddrive.

They make USB external enclosures that can be use to turn an internal drive to an external drive.
