You can use an X cable to attach your 1541 drive to the PC. The most common is the standard X1541, but better models like the XA1541 would be better.
http://sta.c64.org has details
There are two different programs - Star Commander, which works in DOS but not reliably in Windows, and the new cbm4win which comes with a nice GUI (graphical user interface) add-on.
So if you have an older PC lying around, Star Commander is the best bet. You could also investigate www.c64hdd.com which has another way of doing things.

tip: only buy of ebay when you know you can at least break even when reselling goods (like me). there's money in retro antiques.
