It would be cool to have a system about the size of a N64 as good as the one I have now, but getting ready to move from this cursed town. Need to save $. System is
EVGA. nForce 650i ultra Intel Core 2 Duo Wolfdale E8200 2.66GHz
6MB Cache Dual Core 1333MHz 2 Gig DIMM-DRAM NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS with 512 DDR3 memory (PCIe 1.00 x16) 2 HDDs & 2 DVD drives.
 
If you used 2.5" HDDs and limited yourself to a 5570 and one optical drive you could do it. There are some decent small book style cases.

But shrinking a system and saving money while doing it?
 
generally going small puts up the price abit

so saving money will be difficult.

one option could be to get a slightly bigger micro-atx case. Then u'll be able to get a small motherboard with simlar specs and use your existing componants.

or, if you really want a small case, how about this

then you can use this mitx motherboard

and get an i3 cpu and ddr3 to go with it and try to sell your existing componants.

u'll need a low profile graphics card thou, like

althou i doubt a full system would work out all that cheap
