Earlier in the thread someone mentioned building for $500...yeah that isn't gonna happen. Just quick estimate with very vague (but conservative numbers):
100 mobo
250 cpu
100 case
50 ram
100 OS
100 HDD
150 video card
---------
$850 already
Also, I would be extremely hesitant to suggest building to people that are unfamiliar with the current pc world. That seems like a recipe for disaster.

This is CAG. Any time you can save some money and not have to rely on questionable third parties, it's a good thing.
If they had something like Tested's How To Build A PC video running while they work on it, it really wouldn't be all that hard to build it as long as Cheapy and Shipwreck are smart enough to take their time and not force anything into the wrong slots.
