Has anyone seen this on kickstarter... I think it's pretty cool.

It's open source too, you can grab everything here.

I have no idea what to do with the gerber files? But I'd like to put this together.

Personally, I'd go with the $275 pledge then 
.
The board alone is 15 sq. inches, a run of three at OSHPark would cost you $75 or $150 (if it's four layer). I'm unfamiliar with Cortex programming, but I'd assume at least another $100 for the programmer. Now you still haven't bought any components.
Then you definitely need a stencil for the solder paste (there are 250 SMD parts in size 0402), and some equipment that will let you solder the uCs without frying them... man that sounds like a lot of trouble . Good luck though if you're going to do it anyways!
(edit: I just realised you might be working in the electronics industry and have easier access to parts and soldering/assembly machinery than the average DIYer. In that case, ignore my ramblings above...)
