About $1,000 refurbished. (which means it will last about a year) He got a cheapo dell 99 dollar monitor, hoping to get a better one in a year. I think he got a pretty good deal on it. Its a Pentium 3.2 with half a gig of RAM with a good graphic card. Its also got a 250 MB hard disk.
We haven't really tried out the DVR yet, he's recording lost right now, and we plan to record on DVD all our favorite shows.
