New to STEAM.

My main PC is out of commission, and I'd like to buy some of the stuff from the current sale on Steam software. Can I buy the games now at the discounted price and download them at a later date?

Also, assuming I manage to corrupt my hard drive again, will Steam let me re-download the games?
 
Get em now, while they're cheap! I still have a couple of games that I have not downloaded: Steam has a little divider with the non-downloaded games listed there after the ones I have active. Had no problem DLing Steam and my games when I switched computers.

Yes and Yes.
 
all you have to do is go to the main page from any computer and enter your log on id when you select buy. when you d/l the steam client back on your computer later they will show up as eligible to d/l titles.
 
Yes, Steam rocks like that, you can download whatever you pay for whenever you need to (format, new PC etc) I wish iTunes would do the same thing 🙂

I missed them. 🙁

Are these sales common?

They usually have sales on one or two games or a series of games for a weekend but one this big hasn't come for a long time.
