My advice would be to purchase a new panel/keypad (and not used).  There
are a number of online resources that would help you with this.
(http://www.yoursecuritysource.com/buyingonline.htm)  If you're not
particular on the manufacturer, I'd shy away from Napco for the simple
reason that programming their higher end products from the keypad is a
real challenge (unless of course the equipment you purchased includes
some of their wireless products which sort of "locks you in" to using
Napco).  Ademco and DSC both make excellent systems that would probably
fit your situation and budget.
