Where? I was just looking at average prices on various places on pricewatch.

here's some prices locally (in Canadian dollars this time)...
$320 Athlon XP 1800+ (oops, that wasn't right, it's $415 for a 1900+)
$30 A good heatsink/fan (or just put the $30 into getting a retail cpu)
$270 Soyo K7V Dragon+ (nice mobo with onboard LAN, 5.1 audio, and RAID)
$200 2x Crucial 256MB PC2100 DDR
$140 Western Digital 40GB 7200RPM ATA100
$370 LG Flatron 795FT+ 17" flatscreen CRT (I've got this monitor, very nice)
$150 Visiontek GeForce2 MX400 64MB
$130 Landmark 18" Aluminum case
=========
$1610 + tax (a ripoff 14%!) = $1835
which would be about $1200 USD

not bad...
