No. Unless youve got so much money you swim in it.
To expensive, and likely nearly impossible for normal consumers to get their hands on one.

Yes I am; obviously not this year, but, soon. I'm thinking within the next 36 months. I'm hoping the price drops down to $2-3 per Gigabyte which would make a 160GB cost $300. Taking into consideration that I'm dropping $600 on a 80nm G80, $800 on a Processor, and the fact that a Solid State Hard Drive will improve read, write, and access times by many folds I think that this is a wise investment. Also, there would not be any drastic improvements in Hard Drive technology for a while, so, I could keep that $300 when I transfer to DDR4 (since DDR3 looks to be lower power consumption, lower performance version of DDR2).
Just look at Plasma Televisions; they costs in the hundreds of thousands when they first came out, but, now, they cost $1-2,000. Also, DVD Players were a few grand when they hit the mainstream, however, I picked up a $85 DVD Player for my Aunt a year back.
