I was eyeballing the Pico Computing boxen for this: https://www.micron.com/products/advanced-solutions/advanced-computing-solutions/hpc-desktop-systems https://www.micron.com/products/advanced-solutions/advanced-... One could get a lot of mileage in many areas out of a desktop with a good CPU, lots of RAM, a graphics card for general-purpose use, and one or more FPGA's w/ HLS tooling (or just buy the modules). Especially if the basic components were standardized like the PC with minimum requirements on cores, slices, etc on each version of the platform. An app ecosystem could be developed or emerge with capabilities regular desktops couldn't match.
