I created a "Building a Squeak Machine" page on the Swiki in the hopeful anticipation that somebody will do just that!

It used to be that you had to work for a big company to be able to 
design high-performance processors and systems.

But today, with the average $1000 computer having considerably more 
power than the CAD workstations of just a few years ago, we can do 
these designs ourselves.

I wonder why we don't see more innovative processor/system solutions 
coming from individuals now that the (financial) cost of entry for 
making fast, capable systems is almost $0.
