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.
