They pretty much save money on the parts that only a computer-afficiondo would know, ie. sound cards/video cards/memory (size and quality)/HDD speed.
What they say is (for example)
2.0 GHz Intel Celeron
512 MB memory
80 GB Hard Drive
48x/24x/48x CD-RW/DVD-ROM
$499
...or something like that.
The Pentium 4 would add maybe an extra 100-200 dollars but still cheap. They mostly save money on the graphics card and sound card (most likely on-board). They also get a lot of people with the high clock-rated Celerons as they are cheap and look appealing but only computer techs will know they truly suck.
