qemu comes to mind.

Also for hardware that can be bought, then openrd-client is pretty decent.
sata ports, lots of usb, vga, serial, ethernet, 1.2ghz arm, 512MB ram.

I expect in the next year or so to see a number of tegra 2 and tegra 3
devices, which will be rather impressive dual and quad core arm devices.

For mips, well there is things like:

Loongson 3a devices would be even more interesting (4 cores).

Other mips devices would be:

It would need USB for storage if 16MB flash isn't enough though.
Not meant to be a PC after all.
