Have you seen the LART?

The LART is a small yet powerful embedded computer capable of running 
Linux. Its performance is around 250 MIPS while consuming less than 1 
Watt of power. In a standard configuration it holds 32MB DRAM and 4MB 
Flash ROM, which is sufficient for a Linux kernel and a sizeable 
ramdisk image.

220 MHz Digital SA-1100 StrongARM CPU 
32 Mbyte EDO RAM 
4 MB Intel Fast boot block Flash memory 
Power usage < 1 W 
Performance > 200 MIPS 
a stereo 16-bit 44k1 audio output, at line and headphone levels 
a 44-pin 2mm IDE/ATA interface 
a connector for our single or quad Ethernet board 
two PS/2 connectors (keyboard and mouse) 
mono audio I/O from an UCB1200 
connectors for POTS, IrDA, USB client, video and touchscreen 

Though I don't think anyone's packaged it yet. However, it will drive 
a LCD.
