Surely the logical use for a dense cell-based server would be as a monster render farm. Think of the capability of a rack of these things - Weta digital would be able to render LoTR in real-time!
The other use I can think of would be as a game server farm. IBM / Sony hae always said that the cell architecture was designed to off load workload to other cells on the network, surely there's an opportunity for ASP's to provide the heavy lifting behind a cell client device.
