If it works (and proves to be solid long term) then he may well be on to a winner, but I personally wouldnt want to chance it until it becomes a well established 'tried and tested' practice. Until it does, Im not going to be a test subject
I'm not cheating man, the motherboard officially supports Xeon: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Pro4/?cat=CPU

what many people fail to realize, is that workstations (especially on the "lower end" under 5000$ category) usually just use standard desktop parts.
