I'm not sure that dust would cause the problem, maybe over time. If it
was really, REALLY dusty it could cause the unit to overheat. Probably
just it's time.

You could look at this unit at Circuit City
CPQ   SR2002X
Compaq Presario SR2002X Desktop PC

Using yourcurrent monitor, its not a bad buy. Check around though
because there are lots of deals.

Again, a local computer shop, if reliable, can set you up pretty well also.

Basically comes down to waht you can afford, but I hate to waste $$ on
computers. They depreciate fast.
