A wee PC will do ye
An EQ machine (if this means a decently equipped game machine on a modern operating system) is not even required. I picked up the cheapest desktop machine available at Fry's Electronics on sale (for under $300 3 years ago) with Windows XP, added 2GB of RAM (<$100), and a low-end Radeon card (<$100) and it works fine for content at low levels anyway.
If bard wimble ever makes it to raid content, then I can consider something more powerful if needed, but my guess is that this will work fine for my needs forever.
That's still a non-trivial amount of money out of most budgets, but it sounds like you may need a new PC anyway.
