Nvidia and partners are offering new "personal supercomputers" for under $10,000. Nvidia, working with several partners, has developed the Tesla Personal Supercomputer, powered by a graphics processing unit based on Nvidia's Cuda parallel computing architecture. Computers using the Tesla C1060 GPU processor will have 250 times the processing power of a typical PC workstation, enabling researchers to run complicated simulations, experiments and number crunching without sharing a supercomputing cluster.

Free to download, yes. Open source, no. The hardware has a certain version of the CUDA API it supports so I'm assuming it would also require the nvidia drivers. This would in turn limit support to Winindows XP / Vista x86/x64, Linux x86/x64, Solaris x86/x64, OSX x86/x64, and FreeBSD x86. However, AFAIK, only the Windows, Linux, and OSX drivers support the CUDA API.
