You can do something similar with one big FPGA and a few analogue components for video, network, keyboard and mouse. :-) Oh, and some memory in practice!
Best combination is probably an ARM, some memory and an FPGA for all the I/O and glue. Then again, I know a group who are still working on that after a long time.
