I just wish they'd bring back the old RISCPC hardware. It was awesome. You could extend the chassis. Someone even put a pizza oven in one:

It may be apocryphal, but I remember hearing stories about ARM presenting a pizza oven using Intel chips as the heating element as a jab at x86 power usage at some early computer show.
