    That's not too bad considering the prices of 1651s and 1722s rised since
    the "stolen notebooks event" I built mine for $640:
    1722 barebone- 300
    320 WD HDD -80
    2G ram- free from old notebook
    cpu- 200
    dvd drive-10
    windows vista business- 50 (ebay off some business that didn't make it)

    But then again now the barebones are up so if I had to build another one it
    will probably cost me into the 800's

    It's not bad if you don't want the hassle of building yourself, but you can still find the barebones around if you look hard enough. I built mine for under 750. I still dont have an optical drive as I have no use for one.

    1722 Barebone - 300
    X9100 Processor - 320
    320 GB HDD - 80
    4GB Ram - 35
