Sure, but the Dell machine is worth considerably more at the moment. So
it's a good deal. If he's going for the long term investment, he could
sell it immediately and re-invest the money in 4 more Altairs...

You are missing one ***major*** detail. In 10 years or less, that Dell
machine will be scrap material while the Altair will most likely be gaining
in value.
