I'm not sure how that's even possible.  A quick glance at newegg.com:

$17.99 (+$6.13)	[recertified] socket A motherboard
$39.99		[oem] AMD Duron socket A processor
$13.99 (+$4.99)	128MB RAM
===============
$71.97 (+$11.12 shipping) = $83.09.

This is assuming you have an extra case, power supply, and video card to
throw in it.  What do you consider a "small disk drive"?  Newegg has a 40G
for $39.99 + $5.64 shipping.  Yeah, so small disk drives seem to be half
the price of the cheapest possible "box".  Feel free to enlighten me, I'd
love to know where you shop that has a system under US$50 !!!!!
