In the end, I bit the bullet and have ordered a new desktop PC from CCL Online. It's being hand built to my specifications and should be with me around the second week of the new year. I've then got the task, once again, of transferring everything from the old PC to the new one, but at least I can move the new hard drive I just bought into the new PC, so that will account for a lot of data. I will also have a second 2TB hard drive on which to transfer all the data from my current two 500GB external drives, still leaving a fair amount of spare capacity.
My only slight niggle is that I recently swapped the old C drive on the old PC for a new SSD drive, which homed the operating system in isolation. I guess I could eventually use it for additional storage, but for the time being at least, I will need to still have the old PC operable, in case anything gets left behind. What I would ideally have liked would have been to move the entire new SSD C drive, including the OS, to the new PC, but apparently that sort of procedure is fraught with dangers.
