[nfbcs] PC's with a serial port

I'm looking around for a new desktop. I am using an older Alva braille
display, which runs off a serial port. I am having trouble identifying if a
PC I'm interested in has a serial port or not. Sometimes it's in the
technical specs, and sometimes not.
Is a serial port no longer standard? Does the USB to serial adapter work
just as well, or is it slower at passing data through?
Would anyone care to recommend a desktop, or a place to look? I've been
looking at Amazon and TigerDirect. I tried NewEgg, but didn't see much I
fancied.
Thanks.
Tracy
