Mention {
Computers have become an integral part of society. They play a huge part in everyday life. Knowledge of how to build a computer, or fix a computer, is extremely valuable. It can actually make you money, if you decide to make a part time job of it.
Also, mention the educational value of it.
Offer to pay a large amount of the price(maybe half?).
Say you've been bored lately and this'd 'get you off the couch.' and actually doing something.

Good luck!

EDIT: I suggest you do this by bring down your hard drive to something like 500 GB's, or 400. I have 250 GB's on my hard drive, and I still have 50 left.
Yeah, my barebones PC came with a 250W power supply. It worked for a while, but not having enough volts meant that the video card had to pull more amps through the wire, and it eventually fried.

Btw, I HIGHLY recommend AMD 64-bit chips.
