They have 66 blocks and various components at Home Depot.

I had to re-run the wire from the attic to the wall plate, it was part of the connection problem. Now I have to figure out if my old router will play nice and if I can set it up on the computers again. Wired this time to the other computer.

Amazing how much you learn when you're troubleshooting a system. And my friend who got the computer that Olddude sent has been working on that one for a few days. There is no such thing as a "free" computer, you still have to customize it to your needs, so while this is a lot less expansive than buying one new and is much faster than the old one, it hasn't been entirely painless.

I'm going to have to redo the hard drive next week, so I'm not ready to rest on my laurels just yet.
