I need a pretty basic but decent and functional PC. Something basically just for work and school stuff. Really just need the tower, I have a monitor and keyboard. Any suggestions on where I can find a smoking deal?

If you need more basic, lesser spec'd, say the word.

I'd look at the manu site to see if the option to upgrade to 7 is available, or at least if they offer the drivers. If they do, it'd be in your interest since you're familiar with it. 8 is a huge learning curve...
Edit:If the engineering software is graphics intensive, we need to consider other options. The integrated on that one won't cut it.

I have bought and sold quite a bit from their outlet and scratch and dent. Never got one that I could even tell physically anything was wrong with it. I used to buy 5-10 of the laptops at a time and flip them and make decent money....
