Build a pc, sure.
MdaG why not try buying a cheap old PC on ebay, The last PC I bought on ebay was £2.20, with £18 for delivery. I also purchased a seperate sound card for £0.01, with £2.00 delivery. It isn't that hard to open the case and upgrade it. Then look online to download the files for free.

I was lucky enough to get one that already had a 5.1/4 floppy as well. And you can use ebay to source your dos and Win3.0 disks.

Have you tried playing some of your discs in XP with compatibility mode? And strangely some of the oldest games can play on XP with no tweaking at all & perfect sound.
