If not Generic PC hardware can work. Buy an Intel "Atom" main board. For under $85 you get a soldered down CPU and all the normal PC stuff, PCI bus and all. The board I bought does not have a CPU fan and burns all of about 5 watts. Or you can re-cycle and old notebook computer. If you run Linux then yes it supports IEEE 1588. There are real-time versions of linux that give you easy access to low level hardware much like with a uP. If you were going to mass produce these you could cut costs but for a one-off using a $100 PC is reasonable.
