Ebay is probably your best bet, I've seen quite a few different ones up there.
Had the full EVEL outfit going on this past Halloween...chick MAGNET...well...wife magnet anyway.

Great job, hopefully your son won't out grow it too soon.

Delta, you are very observant. It is a HP Vectra 500mhz,good enough for a 3 year old to play with.

A few arcade cabinets, and your son has Ricky Schroeder's bedroom in 'Silver Spoons'.
