I can't say that I bought all my stuff in the store, but here goes:

Chieftec Dragon Full tower case: $120
Asus A7N8X: $90
XP1800+: $30$
512Mb PC3200 Micron: $80
Asus Geforce 4 Ti4200 128Mb Agp 8x: $90
80Gb ata133 7200rpm maxtor: $60

That is about 470 bucks, but remember that most of these parts have been bought quite some time ago, and at that time they were alot more expensive then they are now
