computer equipment? I find that my father often ruins keyboards and mice so I often just get him one of those.

My dad is a big time hunter so I got him a Handheld GPS from Walmats clearance isle. Regular price 200.00 my price 16.00. Yes I am a cheapass.
Nice find, but unlikely that SS would be able to find the same thing for the same price.
Is his PDA expandable? If he doesn't have a memory card for it, that would be a good idea.

Small mp3 player? Computer Speakers? DVD player?

DVD player, DL DVD burner, or something for hi-fi. It's always great to get a parent some piece of electronics that's cool and expensive and they have no idea how to work it...

Dukes of Hazzard, MASH, or some other DVD set of one of his favorite shows perhaps?

Get him the DVD set Curb your Enthusiasm for $40. Seasons 1 & 2 are $20 at Amazon.

Good idea. Nothing like giving middle age men a boxset for a show about an middle age man...
[EDIT] I was not being sarcastic here.
