I worked fro a company and we had to do this, bought shells cards and
other parts and assembled them.
If you have spent any time building computers its really easy just
need to pay attention to detail because of the compact nature of the
unit.
I know ASUS has a nice shell to build in, takes a mini PCIe x16 gpu LT
drive and Reg 775 core 2 duo
and there are a few others you can buy as a "barebone" kit and they arent bad.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
