It will probably be MUCH cheaper to go to the computer show, buy a generic case
and a standard motherboard and transplant all your parts (video, hard drive,
CD-ROM, etc...).

Parts for the new iPaqs are really reasonable, but my experience with Compaq has
been that replacement parts for anything but the current models are ridiculously
priced.
