Also, PC MFG's use the cheapest crap they can find to keep costs down. So comparing mobo to mobo won't be as easy as you think..
My 2 cents? You are way better off building than buying.

Recycling is a great idea for it. Certain things like a floppy drive, and possibly cd drives can be reused until they no longer work. Why waste money (and resources) if you don't have to?
You also get to make the system YOU want. Not what the company prepackages. Not everyone needs a $200 graphics card. Most people (common pc users) would get by just fine with a cheap card or maybe even integrated graphics.
My old VIAO had integrated graphics and I ran Quake III just fine on it. My porn looks better, but it's not THAT much of a difference.
There is a large intimidation factor that goes with building a system. You don't need to know a lot about computers to do it.
