My PC died today

PSU blew up, and that was already the warranty replacement from last year when the same thing happened... hope Corsair will send me another one.
If you have an old netbook you're no longer using because switching firefox tabs takes a minute - that's my rig right now - well, it's still good enough for copying ebooks onto the Kobo using 32bit version of Calibre
All you need is a little patience... Intel Atom N270 didn't seem THAT slow a few years ago but it is.
