The idea I was toying with here was not to build a full-blown PC into a 
rack (with desktop OS and all), but rather to go the embedded system 
route, more specifically to use a device (like the one mentioned) which 
brings all the required peripherals with it and is centered around a 
FPGA, as I believe the way something like a looper works lends itself to 
being realized on such a platform (parallel processing, state machine 
structure,...).

With a structure like that, there's no need to boot/load the program 
(i.e. it would startup right after power is supplied), realtime 
behaviour would be easy to guarantee, and the risk of system crashes 
would be much smaller.

So the idea was to have Möbius in a device which doesn't have all of the 
negative aspects usually associated with computers.
