Is it possible to build your own laptop?

[known12345]

The lowest price I could find for a laptop (netbook) was around $300 at newegg. However that is way more expensive than I would like and I was wondering if it was possible to build your own laptop? If so, how much cheaper would it be? My requirements are extremely basic: surf the internet, basic word document. I don't need a huge hard drive and a linux or xp base operating system is sufficient. Ideally it would be nice to find/build a laptop for under $200, does such a thing exist?

Craigslist.
Yes it is possible to build a laptop. Is it easy? No. Is it cheap? Absolutely not. Is it possible? Yes... To some extent.

Nothing for under 200 no way.

Check craigslist or Feebay for a cheap used unit.

Those netbooks are dreadfully slow and you cannot get anything cheaper then them new.
