Yes several years ago I "drooled" over the possibility of one day being able to afford one but then not too long ago I realized that there are more important things to "drool" over.
I did eventually buy a 9800GTX which was a decent card, but I only had it a short time because it was obsolete when I got it, and ATI's eyefinity cards came out shortly after, so I ended up with a 5830 (very decent card for an 'entry level' and quite a bit faster than the 9800GTX) and my G/F ended up with my 9800GTX...
