This thread should not be taken seriously and only for fun.

Build a CPU as cheap as possible, which should include just the following:
Motherboard, Processor, RAM, HDD, PSU, Cabinet
The configuration should run Windows 7 Basic and Office 2007. Yes, it's an office pc.
Use Atom processors if that is the final option.

The winner will receive a packet of Britannia Tiger biscuits(used).

P.S. stealing is not an option
