Really? Up here in canada, the cheapest LGA1366 board at NCIX costs $300. $385 for the chip (920). 4850 for $200. HDD for 100, case plus PSU for 100, ram for 40, DVD burner for 30, and I'm staring at $1155 self built.
Plus, I'm using dell's site here when I give that figure.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

I must comment that they messed up. To get the 4850, it would cost 1199. I knew it was too good to get i7 and 4850 under $1000.
building = 4870X2 and i7 < $1000

I'm pretty sure he was referring to an assembly by buyer. Getting stuff from newegg and putting it together yourself, etc...
