You will most likely need a new motherboard with Sata drive connectors.
If your old computer does have the Sata headers you will need a sata cable and a power connector to convert the IDE power plug to the Sata power plug. However if you expect the PC to boot to the laptop O/S that probably won't work because the O/S will be configured for the laptop and you will need the installation disks to repair it.
If your old PC still has IDE harddrives and an operating system your best bet is to use a USB drive and transfer all the data you need from the laptop into the PC.
Any other solution may end up costing more than a new PC
