You should be able to network them, but if you can't, there are two very good alternatives:
1. Serial ATA to Parallel ATA adapter
2. A USB drive enclosure with Serial ATA, like this one - you can stick the hard drive from your new computer into this, plug it into the old one through USB, and copy your files.
If you go with #2 make sure it is actually a USB interface and supports SATA drives. It's a little more expensive than option #1, but the good thing is that you can put any hard drive into it and have a portable hard drive (MUCH cheaper than actually buying an external USB/FireWire drive).
