Worth $50?

It's pretty vague but the ad said:

CPU, heatsink, fan, 2.4g, 800fsb, 512mb. $50.

I'm trying to get my parents a computer because they're getting ripped with one of those finance scams where you pay like $40 a week, but I'm not exactly a guru at computer building, but I get by.

Let's say it has a motherboard, 2.4g P4 or AMD, heatsink, fan, 800mhz fsb, 512mb DDR. I've got a harddrive and monitor, and I can pick up a cd-rom as well as a case, keyboard and mouse; what else would I need just for barebones to have this work? And is this ad worth it?
