    I have no idea what you are asking for! does he want a new computer base unit with a wireless card? or a laptop? or a wireless router? wireless print server? does he already have internet access?

    I don't know what you consider to be cheap, but £399 will get you a lovely little Mac Mini.

    Alternatively, if you want to get really cheap, I'm sure you could find an inexpensive PC on eBay or in the classifieds of your local paper. I guess there might not be much point in buying new if you aren't looking for anything too powerful.

    Its Currys refurbs and come with a warranty starting from £189. All you need then is to bang in a wireless USB dongle and away you go

    You may want to turn your caps lock off as well. Makes the posts very unreadable.

    This PC is pretty cheap at £189.99, though you will need to spend a little extra to make it wireless.
