Not anymore, I'd assume. It's running 2 year old hardware by now and Fermi-based GPU's pretty much trounce the GT200 family when it comes to double precision. That said, another good example of how GPU computing can provide a lot of horsepower for (relatively) little cash, especially for certain classes of problems. I built a Tesla Desktop SuperComputer (Dual Xeons, 3 Tesla's and a Quadro 4800) for my school's Computer Vision lab back in '09, and it cost us ~8K for a ridiculous amount of performance.
