That is still do-able if you go to a small computer shop, family owned 
etc. and in Australia there are weekend computer markets where you can
buy older components and discounted stock which the local shops simply
want to move... usually fairly new, still boxed.

Really, buying all the parts will still make a better machine than any
branded machine could ever be.

BTW: Stereo also comes in photography.

I have a camera with a lens for each eye which takes two photos [slides]
at once. when you look at the result through something like a viewmaster
viewer, you have 3D shots of your family.

I have some beautiful photos of my family.

I rarely use it though now because I mainly use digital.
