Default HPC a future cottage industry?

Now I can see a change coming. I know a guy, who is going
into business by himself. He has built (with little help)
a box under his desk with 4 Magny Cours, 128 GB RAM and
28 TB of raid (plus a SSD of 256 GB). This would be
sufficient to run small projects. He claimed it has
faster throughput than the industry-standard
"Mainframe" as he snidely calls them.
Do you think this could catch on?


Not as storage (i read this in comp.storage).

Catch on how? Would he ship these boxes? I expect others already do.
Rent out time like a mainframe? Likely to get mainframe-like throughput.
