building a computer with minimum requirements is dirt cheap. you can do it for like $150 lol and it will hand all the common tasks and low end gaming

Give him yours and build a new one!

j/k

If all he wants it for is to surf the web and look at videos, then you could probably go to the salvation army store and buy a used one.

Buy a case and take photos of all the parts. Stick them to where they should go and charge him $700
