I may be speaking out of ignorance here but since I got an iMac (running Vista under Boot Camp) my PC troubles have all but evaporated. Even if I ever had a catastrophic failure on Vista I can always go to the Mac portion of the drive and just delete/reinstall the whole damn thing.
Please remember that in no way am I qualified to give you good advice about computers but I have been through 4 pc's in 5 years and so far the Mac has been my best investment.
In any case good luck with whichever system you choose.
Judging by his taste in hardware, I would suspect that he wants to be able to play all the newest games. That is something that a Mac just can't offer.
For his next PC he might want to go to www.alienware.com . I've bin thinking about it but came to the conclusion that the shipment cost would be to great as I live in Europe.... not to mention getting it through Customs without them noticing it and having to pay additional tax over it.
I have an Alienware and it is a great system but you can build your own for a lot less. I don't build computers because I just don't like the hassle and honestly, I probably don't have enough knowledge to do it correctly.

That is why I went with the Alienware. I really love the thing and have no regrets whatsoever but I might try building one myself next time just for the heck of it.
