Sure, as long as the old keyboard and mouse are USB. Granted, I haven't bought a turnkey PC in quite a while (I build my own) but, how long have (bargain) PCs been coming with USB mouse and keyboard?
Also, if PC converts are hoping to use their existing PC monitors, do Macs now have standard 15-pin VGA ports? They didn't back in 1995, the last time I owned one.
Ah, I was hoping people wouldn't notice that :-). Yes, you have to have USB, and there are plenty of computers to this day that still use PS/2. True you can get an adapter, but it's as expensive as a whole new keyboard.
However, Macs have DVI connectors and come with DVI to VGA adapters, so yes, you can use your VGA monitor on any current Mac. The last Mac with the old adapter was the beige G3, which is now pretty much out of circulation.

Uh never, My newest computer a Dell about two yrs old has USB ports but the mouse is Ps2.Why is everyone so enthused about USB?I haven't had the best of luck with anything connected via USB since my camera.To use the technical term it's kinda "sketchy"
The vga adapter comes in the box as I understand. You can buy a PS2 to USB adapter for less than $10
