Just one of many companies that still build motherboards in the USA ... http://www.chassis-plans.com/industr...herboards.html

RAM Modules are still made in the USA too ... http://www.keystonememory.com/buy.php using chips from http://www.micron.com/ who still produces the DRAM IC's themselves in the USA at their Manassas facility (they have 2 other fab plants as well to produce more products such as Flash chips).

Western Digital makes SSD's in the USA, Crucial uses Micron's US made Flash IC's and assembles them into their cases in Singapore or Taiwan, as does Intel (in cooperation with Micron at their joint IM Flash Fab) produce their SSD's in China using the IC's that are produced in the USA.

You can even buy computer cases made in USA ... http://www.calpc.com/index.html ... the difficult part would be to source a American made PSU, as PC Power & Cooling is off shoring PCB production and population today, and I'm not quite sure how much is American assembly/final packaging today. But if you can live with a rack mount case, there are a few manufacturers of American PSU's for them.
