I would say custom build, will end up being (IMO) cheaper than buying an entire computer from a distributor/business. Of course this is assuming you know somethinga about setting up a computer from scratch.

i need to get a cheap laptop..
dont really care how old it is..
if it runs Linux im happy.

Any ideas?
as to the origional question, i think also that building it yourself would be cheaper, and you could probably do a lot better that way.
