yes, the Muse Receptor. But it doesn't run all VST...mostly ones you have 
to 
pay for, not free.  I think it is well worth the trade-off, if I was still 
into rack mount gear. I can dump $10,000 on the Receptor and still have a 
2-space system....no flimsy laptop, just a VST hosting machine. That vs. 
five 20 space racks is quite a payoff. Plus you get the decent IO 
interface...no purchaing another audio interface for you computer, and so 
on.
