Amazon:
Descent 1
Descent 2
Descent 1 and 2, the Definitive Collection
Descent 3, with Mercenary expansion pack.
You can sometimes find some Descent titles on E-bay, but that's pretty much a 'hit or miss' proposition, but if you are a collector and the original packaging is important than ferquent searches are your best bet. You could also post in the Descent forums indicating your interests.
Note, that D1 and D2 are Dos games, to run them on a Windows machine you will need to use a third party package such as DosBox or D2X-XL. Descent 3 should be patched to 1.4, d/l it from Planet Descent.
Good Old Games (GOG.com) has Descent 1 & 2, patched and bundled with a pre-configured version of DosBox, for $5.99. This should run on most Windows XP/Vista machines well, but limited joystick support. You can upgrade the GOG download with D2X-XL. Descent 3 with Mercenary, patched to 1.4, is also available from GOG for only $5.99. You can download a purchased games as many times as you like, so you can have the game installed on both your desktop at home, your laptop on the go, wherever you want.
