If you're willing to spend a little more ($500), you can get a <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115369">brand new laptop from newegg</a>. If a desktop PC is fine, you can get <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103054">one for $360</a>. No point really in paying $300 for something that seems to be almost as old as your dead computer.
