I am surprised that no hackernews users has responded to this news yet. It sounds an exciting platform for all kinds of innovations.

The people who were interested probably bought the AMD-powered Gizmo Sphere already? (www.gizmosphere.org)

Could something like this work for a home server?

You may be able to use it for a home server but unless you have a particular need for the NVIDIA parallel processor you're better off with other cheaper systems. If you're looking for a tiny home server check out a Raspberry Pi or ODroid: http://hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php

You can get the same performance for less money with a normal graphics card. Assuming you need a workstation card (for support or something), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133... the Quadro K600 also has 192 cores and similar ~330 GFLOPS performance. It will probably use more power, but it's about the same price. If you use gaming cards instead of workstation cards, it gets much cheaper.
