Thanks guys, i'll definitely be looking at your suggestions, i think it's pretty clear that i should make the move to linux, but i just haven't gotten to it. i already have an acer netbook, but the issues there are horrifying latency and breakup of the sound (at least on windows), pierre's solution seems like my ticket for now, as i don't need to have the system on me. although the bisquitbox, audiopint , beagleboard ,etc. seem like good possibilities.

To be continued...

I suppose that by "exclude" you mean you want to avoid interacting
with your laptop directly?

I don't know what platform you are on but you may want to consider
using a netbook. It gives you more power than a beagle board, you can
develop/test your stuff right on the thing, it is small and you could
even fit it in a small backpack that you could carry on stage. If you
are familiar with linux you should search linux-audio-users list for
some info about getting it done. Ivica Ico Bukvic (who is also on
this list) does a laptop orchestra with netbooks running linux, Ken
Restivo uses an eepc for live shows as a softsynth and DSP (IIRC) and
I was recently involved in a project where a mobile setup with
netbooks, speakers and microphones was used and carried by musicians
in backpacks:
