    The next best thing to building your own:
    http://www.emperorlinux.com/
    Laptops, note books with linux already installed.
    If you're keen on building your own, your can usually pick up an older type laptop for cheap, and then start from there.
    People have been working on this kind of thing for quite a while. Do a google search on "Build your own laptop"
    Good luck!
