It's silly on a desktop.
It is, which makes a desktop platform far superior to All-in-Ones in my opinion. And eliminates the iMac as a contender completely.
OP, I know you don't want to build your own, but here's a decent representation of what you can get for under $1000 in the desktop platform. It will destroy that AIO Dell you're considering (and the iMac obviously). And I didn't even really try.

Except your desktop system comes with windows 8.
Whereas the iMac comes with OS X & iLife.
It's a perfect set up for his elementary school aged kids.
He doesn't need a system that "blows away" something.

Take him up on it, OP. That's a pretty outstanding offer for a really great PC.
