Why do you need to replace your PC just because it's full if images? Can't 
you just upgrade the hard drive or add a second (or third, or fourth) hard 
drive? Or is there some other reason to upgrade? If there is no other 
reason to upgrade or replace, it would be far cheaper to replace or add a 
hard drive than to replace the entire PC.
