how about just taking old hardware, speeding it up a little, adding loads of hardware, piling on memory... hmmm, well i guess it did work for pcs..
i reckon a completely new computer should be made, with the technology we have now and knowing exactly what we want from computers these days we could make an amazing computer!! instead of thinking polygons we should be thinking of lightpoints, collison, physics engines all available in a cisc/risc kinda way.. superfast memory and raid harddrives out of the box. wireless ethernet all that stuff..
and hey! how about sneaking them into those nice plasma gas tvs that cost a few grand!
serious thinking times..

we can make what we want, so let us make what we want!
