Dyson Sphere only ever possible theoretically

Assume technology more advanced than current levels, let us theorise for this question that we are capable of reaching and if needed extracting material from any planet or moon / body in our solar system.

Question simply is would there actually be enough material available allowing for the above ( and what we could extract from other planets via huge automated mining operations perhaps ) in our solar system to build such a creation.

Given the size it would have to likely be , there does not seem to be enough erm "stuff" around to make it any more than a theoretical dream ?

I was not 100% sure which S.E to put this in , sorry if I have chosen the wrong one! :) I do not know how to move if if it is wrong.
