All right lets make one:
Get all the above config except:
the cabinet: Make a wall crawler (Just google it I read about it somewhere)
the speaker: get a simple earphone approx Rs.10
the HDD: go to Kenya or someplace where they still sell 4GB HDD.
the motherboard: get a P1 and mobo which supports, should be available in all leading stores.
and what else... yeah the monitor.... I think black and white is still manufactured somewhere.
Total ~5.21 (Kenyan Dollar)

Sorry about total sarcasm. Couldn't help it. Up the limit by atleast 5K. Then help is available everywhere.

^^ Haha that was funny, Lets not even go for BnW monitor, we can further cut the price if we manage to find a monochrome monitor (Remember the green display). Plus there was a processor called Cirux or something I dont remember ....dirt cheap...we should get that below 1000 bucks. So I say

1. Monochrom monitor.....1000
2. Cirux Processor 700Mhz....1000
3. MB...............................1500
4. RAM 64 is enough...........500
5. Display Card(yea there were no in built initially)....Cirrus Logic....1500
6. Sound Card(these were also not in built).............ESS........700
6. HDD........10 GB.........700
6. CD ROM .......local 500
7. Kb/Mouse ...........150
8. Cabinet................700
9. FDD.....................300
10. Local Spks...........300
11. Local UPS............1000
=========================
Boils down to ............9850.....Yea I got....
