By scratch I assume you mean designing the CPU, not using an existing processor. In this case I had the impression that the idea was to actually get something done, and a custom design seems a rather inefficient way to accomplish it. In any case, you would obviously have to port the OS as well, so it would not be "a computer which runs UNIX" as I understand it - until after the port was made. If I were to make a new computer design, I would in any case want to develop it together with a new operating system. UNIX has led to commodity systems at the cost of interesting design in my opinion. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
