While i'm all for the learning experence of building a computer (I built my last desktop) I also have to take into account the cost. Curiously I went and found a few of the parts the laptop needed to just work. I had to assume alot of what it required but I figure the prices wouldn't be too far off.
CPU: 1.8 GHz Mobil P-4 $445.00
RAM: PC133 128MB $37.97
HDD: 20GB $149.00
DISPLAY: 14.1 LCD Screen $749.00
TOTAL: (APPROX) $1380.00
On top of the cost of the "Barebones" system. (which I don't know thanks to the/. effect)
A quick vist to a certain well known retailer sells a Toshiba Satellite for 999.97.

This would work great iff every telemarketing department used a computerized system for their call lists. I had the distinct misfortune to actually work telemarketing last summer and the company I worked for simply copied pages out of the phone book. But it sounds like a pretty cool idea...just not always 100% effective.
