No one remembers the GuruPlug, or better yet - the GuruPlug Server Plus,
When RPi 1 just came out this little gadget ran x86 Linux (!) and had hdmi out that could handle 1080p video, a feat that only RPi 4 can repeat.
the Sheevaplug, Guruplug, and Dreamplug are what really got me into embedded computing and linux. I still have my Sheevaplug in storage, and a Dreamplug in service as my internal DNS server. the Marvell Kirkwood SoCs they were based on were quite long lived, eventually being rebranded as lower-end Armada chipsets.
P.S. if anyone wants to tinker with that ecosystem, there's still quite a number of people dedicated to packaging up Debian for them, and if you're okay with some soldering to get UART access, you can get a brand new $18 Dell Kace M300 to try out. in a lot of ways, I still prefer them to any newer single-board computers, despite my pretty significant collection at this point.
I have a collection quite similar (in size and content) to the author, but I must have started a bit earlier as I have a bit more of the first RPIs and also a Dream plug (which is another successor to the sheeva plug, like the guru plug)
Right, it was ARMv5 too which meant toolchain support was somewhat lacking and it didn't support non-aligned memory access which meant some programs that were written with x86 assumptions tended to segfault randomly.
