Upgrading the hardware or OS or both? Whatever, he could consider making a bootable clone of his entire working hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner to an external drive. Make whatever hardware changes he wants to the Mac. Boot the "new" Mac from the clone to test things out. If happy, erase the Mac's internal drive and clone back to it from the external. Then upgrade the OS with an Archive and Install if moving up to Leopard from Tiger or to Tiger from Panther. If moving up to Snow Leopard, then do the "Upgrade," not Erase.
