Several open hardware project that are building something with most of the functionality of a standard desktop PC:
Motherboards that run Linux, including
- ARMUS Embedded Linux Board
- Linuxstamp
- the Kestrel
- Balloon Xscale ARM+FPGA dev board
- Computer Components wiki: Custom Notebook
- the OpenBook project is an open source hardware and software project designing a computer tablet ... Everyone can contribute and help to shape the OpenBook hardware and software specifications on the OpenBook Project website. See the Openbook wiki (http://obook.info/)
- wikibooks: build a laptop has a few tips on a semi-custom notebook computer (but it doesn't have enough flexibility to, say, make one with a RAID1 mirroring).
Boards that don't run Linux (yet), including
- Many of the "TTL CPUs" listed in | Wikibooks: Microprocessor Design are more-or-less open hardware. Several of them have video output and keyboard input connectors.
- Several of the Parallax Propeller Development Boards are more-or-less open hardware. Many of them have VGA output and keyboard and mouse input connectors.
Many of the other open circuits projects are designed to plug into a standard desktop or laptop PC.
