It's expensive because I've made it expensive. Had I bout a cheap case, noname motherboard, a single low-end Athlon, and really cheap hard drives and cd/dvd drives, I'd be less likely to spend money to keep the case cooled.
This is what I have:
Tyan TigerMP S2460 ($200)
2 Athlon MP 1900+ ($175 each)
2 Volcano 9 hs/f ($30 each)
512MB DDR PC2100 ($200)
2 60GB Seagate Barracuda IV ($115 each)
16x LG DVD-rom ($50)
40/12/48 TDK CDRW ($100)
X-Raid case ($65)
various fans ($100)
Radeon 7000 64MB DDR ($90)
NIC ($10)
SBLive XGamer ($75)
TV Wonder VE ($50)
That's $1405, and still FAR LESS than what many people pay for an inferior system.
