That might be difficult. I can go upto 52k. I don't want any compromise on performance, but can cut-off from some stuff like display, HDD space etc.

Skip the DVD writer and reduce HDD to 1 TB you will save around 3K.
IF you want to save more money then you will have to buy a cheap cabinet to save additional 2K. (not recommended)

I was thinking about cutting-short on screen size (19 inch) + 1TB. Don't want a cheap cabinet but if the budget doesn't allow, I will consider it.

Agreed. But installing Windows or Drivers will be a pain without it.

You can install windows from pen drive and since you will need updated drivers, download the new ones and install them. No need of DVD drive. :)
