Yes. I built a dedicated computer based on the Gigabyte GA-E350N AMD Hudson M1 DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard and it is surprising how expensive the system is, given that it is based on a motherboard costing 49GBP (76USD) (57Euros). www.cncintheworkshop.com/Building_a_computer.html I did add memory, case, 4 removable drives, etc so its maybe not an entirely fair comparison, but it does add up, no matter how you do it.
