linux conversion is mostly just a geek hack to prove it can be done.
If you really think he wants to try his hand at a linux box, the good way to
pick up a starter computer is to get an old business castoff. The university
here runs a surplus "store" that is open to the public once a week. They
regularly have systems that cost $25-$35. They're older systems, but heck my
old 300MHz Celeron system is currently running just fine as a server for
playing with. Business auctions are a good place to look too.
If you're willing to spend up to about $200-300, you could go the
build-your-own route. Here's one I threw together. (We'll see if the link
works.)

Subject: linux on the xbox?

if that makes me a masochist or what :) We do have an xbox, gave it to my
son (age 13) for Christmas. He also wants a computer, hmmm....
