anyone know of anything similar which actually exists? this is pretty cool
These industrial PC may be the closest thing available to buy now https://www.advantech.com/en-us/products/modular-ipc/sub_574d73d3-adfe-4619-a50e-cac6dc597e83
The closest is the Convergent NGEN, but the one more people may be familiar with would be the TI 99/4a sidecar system.
Sort of… But it’s very different than a computer, it’s called a Programmable Logic Controller and it’s used in industrial applications. Best game I’ve ever seen one run was Doom.

Plan9 is sleeping. It works great and is actively developed, but I think it will remain a research OS. People/companies don’t want to buy a really effective solution they want a pinky promise from another company. We’ll eventually get embed windows on risc machines and it’ll suck.
Cluster computers will still be discrete tho. OP is aesthetic and cool. future computers will be piles of servers and silly iot devices and silly smartphones
