I mean, I spent about half that just on the computers in my apartment and I only have a 56Gbe LAN I shouldn't say "easily affordable" like anyone can afford it, but rather something that you can do with off the shelf retail components (within the budget of a hobbyist software engineer, anyway) it's cheap compared to hobbies like driving a sports car, at least!
