Pity I didn't know about this some three months ago when I had to replace my desktop; old one went for recycling through the shop where I got my new one.

Sorry.

I have several which you are welcome to have.  However, I am in Australia and I suspect the cost of shipping them to anywhere overseas would be prohibitive and cheaper to purchase one off Evilbay or even Craig's List.

Have you tried contacting any local computer repair businesses?  I would expect they would have some lying around.
