Nooo. No PCCHIPS. Worst boards on the planet. Literally. Worse than Dell boards.

If he just needs a basic computer with onboard video, you can do pretty good for a few hundred bucks. Lemme price out something, and I'll get back to ya.

-EDIT-

Got you a build together.

Total comes to $379.48 after shipping.

That's a full machine. You get a nice dual core with a very upgradable board, if he wanted to upgrade to a new AM3 processor later. You get 4gb of pretty good RAM, a fast 640gb HDD, good case/psu combo, and a DVD burner.

Upgrading the HDD and RAM in your machine, as I said before, would be a waste of money since it's getting older. It would be better to put that money towards something like this.

EDIT2: No idea why the links aren't posting right, but they work.

EDIT3: ...now they magically work. Figures.
