Don't understand why you don't go directly to Dell. They used to have a program called "build your own."
You may or may not be able to buy the tower only. You must understand that the vast majority of users buy a new set.
If you do buy a new set (CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse) you could probably sell the new, unwanted items on eBAY, but if it were me, I would keep all the new - which probably work well together - instead of trying to match old devices with a new tower. Probably much less aggravation in the long term. Additionally, a new set from Dell would all have warranties. You should watch sales this weekend. The weekend just before Thanksgiving is sure to be a good one for specials.

I ordered one from Dell and got it a few weeks ago, I had to have it specially made because I wanted XP and not Vista but you can get it.

dont get a XPS, its XPS name makes it overpriced. Instead just customize a lower model one with advance features, thats what i did
