One of the more modern successful takes on Genre mixing was Sanctum, combining tower defense and FPS.
And you can't forget Command and Conquer Renegade either. 
Giants Citizens Kabuto blended 3rd person shooter and RTS.
Can't forget the venerable Black and White in the face of Lionheads closure either.
Majesty: The Fantasy King combined RTS and RPG elements.
I also have a soft-spot for X-Com interceptor too, I played the hell out of it when I was younger. - Combines RTS and FPS space shooting.
Can't forget Independence War 2, because it was just awesome, I need my retro box up and running after all these memory's. :P
Going to use 64Gb Flash memory for the Hard drive using an IDE converter off ebay and find a decent 4:3 LCD 1024x768 monitor.
