Right so like a lot of you I have a load of used parts. DVD-RW, HARD DRIVE, PSU'S, CASES.
Rather then let them collect dust why not build a low cost computer, install Linux on it and flog it to a family member who helps you out the most.

So I have this question:

What is the cheapest motherboard, ram & cpu combo which you can find?

In British currency Pound Sterling I've found a AM1 board for 23, a AMD Semperon Dual Core 1.4ghz for 22 and 2gb of 1600mhz ddr3 crucial memory for 15, heat sink fan for 3 and paste for 2.

So I'm able to build a new rig for 65 pounds.

Can anyone get this any cheaper?

For that type of computer it is almost easier to just go to the store and buy an OEM one. Get a warranty and an operating system already installed.

If all of your parts are compatible with the equipment you are picking I don't think you are going to be able to do any better.

All in one board, add ram:
