Case $200 or so, your choice if you want style or function.
Another $130 for mouse, keyboard, HDD, optical drive
Cost $950-1100
As an option and you can save money by reusing old parts. The point of the above is not to beat Dell on price, its to beat them on performance and quality whilst still keeping within the same performance benchmark. Stick an HD 48xx series and you'll smoke dell on performance and stick it in a nice case and you'll beat them on looks, quietness and quality.
Tease.
