Sony PS3   
From a post on Groklaw:

  1. 3 CPUs - with, effectively, dual core - running at 3.2 Ghz
   2. 256 Meg Ram
   3. Dedicated GPU
   4. 25.6 Gig/s transfer between memory and cpus
   5. Blue Ray

For those that guessed it from the specs outlined: yup, Sony PS3. Of
course, it would have to run Linux ;) I can't really speak about the
GPU, it's been forever since I was really up on what the tech specs of
video cards meant. Considering it's a high-video intensive gaming
platform, I'm thinking you probably don't have much to worry about :)

The reason I said "potentially" was due to the memory. 256 seems
pretty small but with all that cpu processing, perhaps it doesn't need
to be much bigger.

Most people have no idea how much computing power they are buying with
that $399 price. Compared to your standard desktop, it's a steal.

And before anyone asks, nope, I don't sell them. However, lately I
have been highly considering replacing my dual-2.0 gig, 1 gig ram,
main computer with one. I'm just not sure how much effort it would
take to get Gentoo installed on it.

Presumably a memory upgrade would be straightforward? And how about an
hard drive?

Upgrading the hard drive is trivial.  Upgrading the RAM is impossible.

 My computer runs at 3.5MHz and I'm proud of that
