I don't know if SSDs have any method of being put in desktop systems as of yet. I haven't looked into them too much due to the price and the fact I'm currently more interested in large amounts of storage rather than speed, but I've only seen their use for laptops. I'm sure you could find a way to put them in a desktop and form a RAID array somehow, but the price is going to be up there as NT50 mentioned.
