Remarkable systems on a budget

I recall reading interviews of equipment designers stating how it is much easier to design equipment at high price points, but to make equipment for the budget minded audiophile was tougher due to the limitations related to including less expensive electronic parts.
Was wondering what systems have been assembled on a budget and represent remarkable performance.
Does the system sound organic and easy to listen to for long periods.

I could probably build (not for you Peter. I know your taste) a pretty good rig for around $2000.
-single driver double mouth horn speakers $800
-tube integrated amp $500
-used Oppo DVD player and new NOS DAC $500-$600
- rest on cables and such.

I'm sure you would be very surprised what can be achived on tight budget if someone is willing to do some of the work and put some time in research.

My thoughts were towards something more exotic, full range and really special ( sonicly and visualy ).

I saw Oppo used on AC for $100. That would make (your system exemple) the total of around $500.
For that $$$, it is hard to beat.
