It depends a bit on whether you have time or money to spend, and what sort of 
spec you are after. If you are not doing anything wildly esoteric, and you 
wish to spend the money and keep the time; then I would suggest buying an off-
the-shelf machine with an Intel I3 (or AMD A4) or better processor.
I would then connect the two machines together using a network and transfer 
all your data onto the new machine.
As for storage:
Are the ZIP disks really still necessary? or could you move to newer (and more 
available) media? (eg. SD card or USB stick).
Upgrading mouse and keyboard need not be expensive, but that is down to 
personal preference.
Cheers,
