Using your old Mac is a good idea.
I write in the guest bedroom on an old computer that has nothing on it except my files. I don't play music and I keep the blinds shut. My computer would go onto the Net, but I deliberately haven't hooked it up. The Net computer is in the living room and I usually only allow myself a few minutes in the morning to see if the world's still out there, then my lunch break and/or at the end of the afternoon when I've got my writing done.
Procrastination is a universal problem. Funny, how when you face sitting down to write, cleaning the toilet starts to sound inviting? I think it's our fear our failure that keeps us away from the writing. (If you never try, you can never fail.) Fear also keeps us from stretching as much as we are capable of.
Good Luck with the Mac.
