That all depends on what you want your desktop to do. I personally am salivating over the thought of running POVray or something similar using the Cell's processing power. Of course, until POVray 3.7 gets out of beta, that won't be possible, since the developers are firmly in the closed-source mode. (And may I just say that keeping a program in closed beta for over a year is kind of ridiculous...? if you're not Microsoft, of course, in which case it's expected, but I digress...)

Yafray is the way of the future for open source raytracers.
Integrates very well with Blender and also has support for parrellel processor rendering.

Personally I hope someone does the work to port Blenders simulation systems (Physics is already, but also fluids, cloth/softbody, and particles) to take advantage of SPEs, as well as the Renderer.
