he isn't asking what is cheapest for the price... he is just curious how cheap a computer can be built using new parts... he isn't buying it, he just wants to see how cheap can it go

and nothin beat mine
 
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ $120
HITACHI 80GB harddrive $50
Gigabyte 939socket motherboard $55.99
Corsair 1gb ram $70
LITE-ON CD/DVD Rw $30
Geforce 6600GT $120
Then just get what ever case you want.

That right there is $450 and what should do you good for how cheap it is.
