I am fascinated by this - is there no where that is leading the charge to develop personal computing devices that are truly open? What cost level are we really talking here?

There are some places that are trying to do fully open source hardware, but because the majority of the public doesn't care (they just want their computer to work), nothing big has come out yet.

First you have to build a Fab that you trust. Then build an assembly line that you trust. Then make sure these don't have any humans in them, since humans are not trustworthy.
