Many schools will increase the COA $1,000 to $2,000 upon request for a one-time purchase of a computer for school use. You might try making that request.

You also may still be eligible for the full Stafford even without the increased COA - they probably reduced the loan automatically when your scholarship arrived. If your EFC is low enough you still may be able to get the original Stafford, but you would have to request it.

In any case you should be eligible for a $2,000 unsubs Stafford - have you asked fin aid about that?
