I don't think you can beat the price of low end systems by building your
own.
I get low end boxes at computer shows where you can bargain
with the sellers. The small time screwdriver shops that go to shows
offer some great buys on basic systems. I've been doing this for
about 10 years and have never had a problem.

I'm not sure you can get everything you want:
- $300 box
- non-tech able to put it together AND troubleshoot the inevitable
problems
- upgradable in the future
How about the first two:

$278 + tax. Plus very low energy consumption. I will be quite
interested in their laptop equivalent, supposed to be out later 2008.
