Quickly off the top off my head

MiniPC: Zotac Zbox ID18 (Celeron 1007U) - $199
RAM: Crucial 8GB laptop ram - $93
SSD: Crucial M500 120GB - $115
Monitor: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/c...]-aoc-e2260swdn-21-5-led-monitor-4669087.html - $179

Total: $588

If you need additional storage, can purchase external USB3 HDD separately. Can also save cost by cutting RAM to 4GB @ $52. Size comparison of the ID18 below;

Get a cpu + monitor in marketplace/garage sales for less than 400 will do the job.
