What is the cheapest (money wise) complete PC that I can build. Im trying to build one for myself for messing with. I don't want to buy a pre-built PC. You don't have to include an OS.

Please help. Im having a hard time with this (really I dont know why).
 
i built a sff box this summer for $353.73

i am using onboard audio and was using onboard video (upgraded main rig to pci-e and used card from that system in this box)... there are deals out there you just got to look for them outpost usually has cheap mobo/cpu combos and look at neweggs refurbished section for items
 
Just built an xmax present box for $325 shipped (minus HDD)

PS/2 Ball Mouse $3.00
ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2 754 NVIDIA 6100 MATX Motherboard $60.99
AMD Sempron 64 2600+ Palermo 800MHz FSB Socket 754 Processor $64.00
Crucial 512MB DDR 400 $48.00
BenQ Black IDE DL-DVD Burner $36.99
Rosewill RK250 Black PS/2 Keyboard $4.99
APEX Black/ Silver MicroATX Case 300W Intel/AMD PSU $36.50
SONY Black Floppy Drive $10.00 :(
$264.47 pre-rape (tax & shipping).

It has far exceeded my performance expectations. Not a speed demon but a good value for the money imo. And that mobo is a pretty solid base should the recipient want to do some upgrades in the future (A64, pcie & sata2).
