I'd like to see a desktop, or a laptop, with these cell processors in them.

That would last me a while.

It would be great as a secondary processor in place of the SIMD units (SSE, 3DNow) that's in modern chips, but it's not multi-purpose enough to be used as the main processor of a computer. Folding@Home only assigns PS3s those types of units it can handle.
