Ok, here is some stuff that usually works at Future Shop, it might work at other places that sell and Repair PC's.
You buy a PC from Future Shop or wherever and when buying it make sure that you act like a computer moron and mention "my brother said to get this".
Now you need a visual confirmation, so get one of the guys to give you his card so you can contact him if it breaks. Now take it home and 1 hour later call their tech support saying that it won't start and says, "missing operating system".
now remove the hard disk!
Take it into the store and say that it just won't work. Anywhere from one week to one month later voila! You will have a PC with a new hard disk in it. They will just assume a tech forgot to put it in or something.
(this can also be done with RAM, Modems, Sound Cards, and even CPU's if you're feeling brave!).
p.s. this is theft/fraud.
