Happy Holidays!
IDE hard drives were the standard back in the ps2 era and today, they're really hard to find and extremely limited when it comes to max capacity compared to today's standard, SATA.
A better option is to pick up this compact IDE to SATA adapter from StarTech (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EOJNGC2/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_ZWYDybGVEG2KF)
I got one for both my softmodded ps2 and chipped og Xbox and it allowed me to connect a modern day 2TB 2.5" SATA hard drive perfectly. The HDD and adapter fits inside the ps2 enclosure with room to spare. A much better option than spending a fortune on a larger old IDE hard drive on eBay.
If you're still looking. I'd recommend using a simple 12V DC power adapter like this, and putting the female port it comes with on the back of the console, then you can wire 12V LEDs and fans to this instead of trying to use the built-in power supply. it's only 24W, so I'm not sure how much you could do with this one, but you can probably find something with more power.
EDIT: I realized fans and LEDs don't use very much power, so that should be fine. Adding in some small 80mm or 60mm fans to the CPU and GPU heatsinks and wiring LEDs to this should be fine. I would even wire switches for the fans and LEDs separately so I could turn them on and off if I wanted.
No you aren't SOL, just order an new laser on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301841300184?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT and buy an IDE 320GB from Ebay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-320GB-IDE-3-5-HDD-Maxtor-MaXLine-Plus-II-UDMA-133-5400RPM-2MB-5A320J0-/262422608633?hash=item3d199b3af9:g:E1MAAOxyOlhS-~yv
I buy Maxtor II versions, usually around 20 bucks. You can copy your already ESR patched games to the HDD following a tutorial I made which I will link, or you can buy a connectivity kit to directly connect the HDD to your PC via USB and copy the games you download right onto it with winhiip.

I've boughten cheaper version off of Ebay and it ended up not working. This one was linked in another ps2 thread and I can verify it works great.
