    Yes you should be able to. All you need to do is make sure that the dell desktop has the available interface in the case and plug it in. What are you going to be using the drive for? If booting from the drive it will be a little more complex. If you are just using it for storage then make sure that you plug it in the secondary sata/ide ports.
