The Acorn Archimedes is well worth a look at. It is said to be the fastest
micro ever produced and having seen it, I am inclined to agree.
As a demonstration, Acorn include a GEM-like desktop which runs faster than
GEM on the Atari and best of all, include the source because it was written
in BASIC (yuk). Its a fantastic machine.
By the way, I still love my Atari!
