Not really.

You could build him that for less.

 

[mikee]

how much less do you think?

I built my dad a comparable machine for about $300 (estimate after parts I should have bought but didn't need to.) If you can you can reuse CD drives, floppy drives, etc.

Have him use the keyboard, mouse, and monitor that he has now.

Total comes to $346.06, including shipping. Of course, that's NewEgg, in US dollars.

You could build him one just as good for less than $500 Canadian.
