But note that all that is not open source hardware (as mentioned above).
Also I'm not getting the point in buying such hardware -- there is some linux
distribution preinstalled, but that's it I guess. Or am I missing something?

If you want open source hardware, I recommend looking at
- the EOMA68 project
- Olimex
- upcoming Talos Workstation by Raptor Engineering
- maybe devices supported by libreboot
