But can a new computer be setup in a way that your Mobipocket PID can be kept?

As I said before, if you don't want to READ your DRM-protected books on your PC, it's just a matter of copying your books from one computer to the other - that's what I do. I just use my computer to store my Mobi books, not to read them, so I don't have my computer's PID registered at any bookstore.
If you did want to have your PC as one of your registered devices on which to read the DRM content, then you'd have to register the new computer's PID at the bookstore and re-download the books.
I don't think there's any way in general of keeping the PID if you change the device. A PID, like a MAC address, is supposed to be unique to that device.
