Anything is doable! (and it will be good practice)

Case - Antec Solution Series (beige) + 300wt PSU - $45
HDD - Western Digital 40gb 8mb cache - $64
Mobo - Shuttle AN35N Ultra - $60
Chip - Barton 2500 - $75
Memory - Corsair Value Select 256mb DDR 400 - $46
Video - Geforce4-TI-4200 - $120
Speakers - Any Cheapies 2.0/2.1 - $15-25
Cooling - Volcano 7+ (lowest speed setting for less noise)/2x TT 80mm Fans - $30
Heatsink Paste - Arctic Silver 5 - $8
Keyboard/Mouse - Cheap Logitech/Cheap anything - $20-35

Total: $483-$508(ish)

Given you can pretty much degrade anything in this list to the bottom of the barrel type equipment. This computer, would last a damn long time for the casual people.

*EDIT*
The mobo has onboard sound, and lan. (forgot to add that)
*EDIT Again*
I'm not sure if there's anything reusable in their system, In my mind I figured that floppy/cdrom would be reusable, hence I didnt add either.
