4 9800GX2's? at 20fps? That boy has got some spyware!
My Pentium D and 7900GS could do that. You take any console game available for PC and the PC version will look superior, and no you dont need a really expensive computer to do it either. I've had my rig since 2004, and upgraded the video card ONCE, and can still play every game that comes out at settings better than consoles. My computer can do lots of other stuff to boot!
However, consoles are still a good buy, and the gaurantee that you will never have to upgrade parts is pretty nice. In the case of the PS3 its a very good value for its HD media abilities. But alas, PC gaming will also be better looking that consoles, its a simple fact. Just because Crysis looks like shit on your craptastic $199 rig doesnt mean it looks that way on everyone elses.
Edit: Come to think of it, you could call PC gamers the Elite Gamers. You have to be willing to put some down to join, but in the end, it's all worth it.
