Go to www.biblesupport.com there are many many commentaries there for free for your e-sword, and many other helpful modules.
Also try www.doctordavet.com. You might get the Expositors Bible modules there, also free, and more, all free at both sites.

Others than myself? :laugh:
Check out Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries [LINK]
I think they would complement the MacArthurs NT Commentaries you already have.
Not too expensive and can be purchased individually.

I thought of a few others that you may like!
Bible Lessons International [LINK] by Bob Utley
Available free on-line - I use his digital version via Logos
I rarely fail to check out his commentary, simple and easy to teach from IMO.
Also see Dr. Tom Constable notes [LINK]
I consider both to be among the best free commentaries available.

For a great cover to cover Survey of the OT, I like Lasor Hubbard Bush.

Yea, the NT, and I ain't being cute. "The new is in the old concealed, the old is in the new revealed", origin Augustine.
I reference Jamieson, Fausett and Brown commentary often, and also John Gill and Matthew Henry.
[edit] BUT DON'T FORGET WE LIVE IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE; THANK GOD! Thank God for all his servants who have donated their labors of love in transposing soooo much literature to the cyber world.

I don't know if you're still looking for advice on this but there are several which I would encourage you to consider.
In my studies I prefer individual book commentaries (or section commentaries) to a survey style commentary. The individual studies are more focused and can pick up themes missed by survey style commentaries. Also, generally they individual studies are written by people who specialize in the book and can elucidate more significant points than general commentaries. (Sorry thats a long intro)
If I had to go with a general commentary I'd encourage Mark Dever's The Message of the Old Testament. Here Dever gives a good overview of each book which he delivered as individual sermons at his church. Also, though its dated, Keil-Deiltzsch is generally regarded a decent.
As a whole set I'd always recommend the Word Biblical Commentary or the New International Commentary on the Old Testament. Both are excellent representations of evangelical scholarship. The NICOT is more approachable for a layman's perspective and might be more helpful on balance for your needs.
I believe someone else mentioned the Tyndale Old Testament commentaries by IVP. They are quite good.
Now if you want to get into individual book discussions I'll simply refer you to the site I go to (in part) when considering commentary purchases:
www.bestcommentaries.com
This is a great site and really will help you out. I like MacArthur and recommend him for our group leaders if they ask. The new Broadman & Holman commentaries are good but miss too many passages.
I hope this is helpful and not too scattershot.
