Q. Any way to connect a PS2 or Gamecube for example to your PC and play it on your computer monitor?
Answer
you can connect ps3s to dvi inputs using a hdmi to dvi converter, however, if you have a media center PC and you wish to hook up games threw it, i would NOT recommend it as there is a 4 second lag. but it is possible to hook up consoles to your computer if you set up TV threw a AV input, then just unplug the av inputs for the TV and hook up the game to it. once again, i don't recommend it for gaming because of the lag.

Should I get a gaming console or a gaming PC?

If you suggest a gaming console which one and why? (I am leaning towards that 360). If you suggest a PC, ATi or nVidia?
Answer
I assume that since you're asking, money is no object, so go with the PC. The main reason to buy a console is price, and since the PC is better in just about every other area, then the choice should be obvious.
The advantage to PC's include the ability to build, customize, and upgrade your machine, as well as having a better control system that allows for more freedom in the game. You also get better visuals - better graphics, higher FPS rate, and a higher resolution on your monitor than you'd get on a TV screen (not to mention the cases usually look better than console cases)
As far as the games themselves go, not only are they more intuitive and complex, but the PC also opens up generes that simply don't workl on the console (such as RTS's, flight and building sims, etc.). Then there are FPS's that simply beg to be played on the PC, like the Half-Life series and Battlefield: 1942.
Now onto the best part: building your machine. Some console gamers may consider this a drawback because they've got no tech skills at all, but painstakingly choosing each compentent, a monitor, and case from NewEgg, ordering them, wating painfully for three days, shouting with glee when they arrive, assembling it all, placing the final product on your desk, plugging it in, installing every individual driver, and booting up Crysis on Very High has it's own sort of appeal to it. You get to make something completely your own, that few, if any, other people have, something that you built with your own hands. Most console gamers wouldn't understand this, because they purchased their 360/PS3/Wii/whatever, that's indenticle to every other 360/PS3/Wii/whatever, pre-assembled from their local GameStop. If this seems like to much work, or if you just don't have the technical know-how, than I'd still advise you to buy a pre-assembled PC. It still beats out consoles, and you can still upgrade and customize it, but you're missing the best part of owning one (not to mention, custom builds are usually far cheaper than pre-assembled machines).
Again with price, but don't let that sway you. Yes, you'll pay between $1000 and $2000 for a top-of-the-range gaming PC (contrary to popular belief, you don't need to spend $5000, although that's certainly possible), but after that initial payment, it's no more expensive to keep your machine upgraded than it is to buy a new console every four years. And in fact, games and accessories tend to be bit cheaper, so it will actually save you money in that area. So if you've got the cash to fork out for that first purchase, it's well worth the investment.
Best of luck with your descison.
PS. And since you asked about cards, I'm currently running the NIVIDIA 9800GX2, and I absolutly love it. Coupled with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor, it runs Crysis on Very High at between 35 and 45 FPS. It absolutley destroys every other game I throw at it. Though some people like ATI's, and I hear they're quite good. I'm not very familiar with the models or anything, but I have no reason to believe they're any different from the NIVIDIA's.
