Depends on what he's using it for. Tank size is important if it's going to be running for hours at a time. Silent/not silent will be imporant if you're in a residential area with no soundproofing.

Place called (I think) Mark's model's on Poolbeg Street. That may be a help if he's using it for smaller stuff. Kennedy's ion Harcourt Street also sell them. Don;t see it saving you a trip into town - sorry!

Cost varies: anything from about 100 to 500, but you can pick them up second-hand.
