People use to breadboard their own computers but the hobbyists gave up because they couldn't compete with the big companies. There are sites like 6502.org but I'm looking for a community that supports something else. I found out there is Linux for even the Chumby computer. I would read the manual for the OMAP processor but it is something like 3500 pages long for the Beagleboard.
I'm building a soldering iron kit right now because I'll need something small to do surface mount soldering.
NVIDIAs project Denver will usher in a new era for computing by extending the performance range of the ARM instruction-set architecture, enabling the ARM architecture to cover a larger portion of the computing space. Coupled with an NVIDIA GPU, it will provide the heterogeneous computing platform of the future by combining a standard architecture with awesome performance and energy efficiency.
ARM is already the standard architecture for mobile devices. Project Denver extends the range of ARM systems upward to PCs, data center servers, and supercomputers. ARMs modern architecture, open business model, and vibrant eco-system have led to its pervasiveness in cell phones, tablets, and other embedded devices. Denver is the catalyst that will enable these same factors to propel ARM to become pervasive in higher-end systems.
The ISEE radar is very interesting. I've been trying to convince my boss to invest in one for evaluation. We really need to be able to, you know, detect things in our business. Don't we?:)

Interesting links you have there. I have been playing with the IGEP board from ISEE http://www.igep-platform.com/ which is somewhat like the Beagle Board http://beagleboard.org/
Google of course will find you a lot of hobby computer action, from a 8 bit binary adder made out of wood and ball bearings, to processors built out of relays http://www.electronixandmore.com/project/relaycomputertwo/index.html and upwards.
Quite interesting links, I see two Amiga compatibles, a couple ARM boxes, sounds like your friends like Amiga OS and RiscOS.
Wow. Their radar system looks impressive:
