External PCI-e card on laptop?

Solution
Graphics cards in external PCIe bays are starting to become viable, with the introduction of high bandwidth connectors such as Thunderbolt. However it is a pretty immature solution, and not supported very well on the software side by AMD/Nvidia.

It will happen eventually, but right now its not that good a solution.

I was only considering this so that I may buy a cheaper, well built laptop with a good processor and just game at home with this set-up.
