Perhaps he'd be interested in SFF cases from Shuttle? Little boxes with tons of power , some have onboard video and sound.

Sorry, I really don't know what a computer would need to play DVD movies (not sure if videocard needs special features), but I know it really doesn't need too much CPU power to run such programs.
