OK, heres the deal. Dell has this entry level PC for $399
The only rule is every component must be new. Assuming no tax, the Dell comes to $450 with shipping, w/out the CRT. Your prices must include shipping. You also need to add a copy of Windows XP, that's basically all the software that comes with the Dell. Please use only retailers you would buy from.
Here's my half-assed attempt:

$20 over, but a much better system IMO.
