I typically build replacement computers (for myself, son, and a few others) 
for $200 to $300 (or less) (without Windows).  I do this by watching for items 
on sale at places like Newegg and Tigerdirect.

A typical build has a 64 bit AMD processor, 8GB of memory, and at least 200 GB 
of disk.  

A typical budget:

   * Motherboard and CPU $70 to $100
   * case and power supply $30 to $60 (I typically get a new power supply for 
~$20), if I can, I'll re-use a case (if it is a size that I like (and holds 
the MB)
   * 8 MB RAM $40 to $50
   * 1 GB HDD ~$50

Mice and keyboads I have or will reuse old ones.  Don't even install a floppy 
drive anymore--shouldn't bother with a CD or DVD drive, but I typically 
install an old one "just in case".

The prices I mention do require patience (to wait for sales) and a willingness 
to go through the rebate process.
