[LUAU] Who's building system units?

My old Zen teacher's computer is a battered hand-me-down
(approximately seven years old) on its last legs. The CD drive has
failed and the HD is making unpleasant noises. He may need a new
computer soon. I could assemble one from parts, but it might be too
expensive to buy all the parts retail and have them shipped here. If
you're going all new (rather than just upgrading a few failing parts)
I gather that it's *usually* cheaper to buy from someone who gets the
parts wholesale. So, who here in Honolulu is building PCs now? Who's
reliable?

I should add that all he does with the computer is: use Word and
Outlook (bleaagh), listen to an Internet classical music station, and
watch the Democracy Now vlog. He's 91 and is still confused by
computers. He doesn't need a gamer's computer.
