Assuming all your peripherals are still in good shape, you might want to check out Walmart's reconditioned PCs.

I've had two of them and they've served me well .. you won't get state of the art, but the pricing is very reasonable .. buy site to store and eliminate shipping costs.

.. most all of them come with a fresh OS, from Win7 on up.

I bought a Core2/Win 7 HP from WallyWorld last spring and I've had good luck with it so far.

Hope you're back soon!
