I think we can raise the price a bit by using the [url=http://shop.acros.de/schaltung/3654/a-ge-hydraulic-derailleur-system]Acros A-GE hydraulic derailleur system [/url]
Stated price on their website is 849 euro's...
cranks go to Clavicula. They extremely hard to track down these days and even more rare in a 83mm size.
They were sold for 999€ ($1084) but you can find them for 700 Euros these days, abeit being 73mm... if you want to be realistic.

found a cost for the steering damper and its worth adding I think...
$229.95
"Downhill racers experience enhanced stability, improved cornering, and a far less fatiguing ride. This is because the steering damper absorbs the hits that throw the bike off line. XC riders and Roadies share the same benefits, plus, find that the damper helps with climbing. Technical climbs are easier, you hold your line and won't need to step off as often."
I was trying to find some precedence as I saw a Shimano tec run it. Finally did, http://www.bikerumor.com/2015/12/22/readers-rides-super-green-2016-bans…
Let's make this happen! XTR di2 w/short cage conversion off a saint derailleur, then we get the cost of the battery, shifter, display, rear mech, wires, junction box. I don't know how open everyone is to hacking stuff together.

What about adding a steering damper? Not sure how much they cost but could add a bit to the total...
Also push shock does not come in DH sizes (8.5,9.5)...
And HOLLY MOLLY 800 for pulley, are they for real? :D

As for the rotors, they're not available in 200mm, unfortunetly. Would have been a nice addition otherwise!
Keep checking!

Perhaps some of those silicon strap on plant pots at $90 a shot.
