If you are concerned about OS cost, then maybe a Linux distro like Ubuntu. As you mentioned that u are interested in the old school games and starcraft and DII is well supported in wine.
Also it would be worth it to check if your educational institution is a member of the MSDNAA as some of them don't disclose that they are (lazy admins) and you can get free licences for XP and Vista that way.
