Anybody seen any good literature/prices on this sort of thing lately. How
long are they rumored to exist.  It would be really cool if a PC was like
an hp48, damn thing never crashes and is basically always on.

My vision for the PC: (It will happen)

Pizzabox case, no fan.  Seperate AC/DC transformer externally (like the
old C64's).

No moving parts, 17" active color lcd panel (touch). 
Voice interface, keyboard area that can reconfigure itself.
Fiberoptic wide area networking port built in.
Never shuts down, goes off or resets.

Memory can be maintained indefinitely without application of
external power via eeprom mirroring.

Battery powered main memory/storage.
Second built in battery can act as ups to keep the machine up and function
throughout extended power outages.
