Hey man, I'm with you, it's all about newegg.com to me. I'm typing this on a 2Ghz Athlon X2 w/ 2G RAM, 500G SATA HD, and a 256M GeForce 7600GT. Running Ubuntu Feisty, so I don't have to pay the MS tax. Total price ~$900, including stuff not mentioned (DVD drives, case, PSU, everything but monitor really). I build systems for a handful of family and friends.

But the poster I replied to was looking for a laptop, and laptops don't follow an open architecture, so guys like you and me can't really build them. I'd love to stand corrected on that though.
