...ahhhh.... pay for custom designs. Consoles don't use off the shelf components because they are mass-produced and specialized.

To answer most of your questions: (1) a fridge cannot cool a PC (2) 64-bit OS for over 3.4GB (3) If a PCIe card fits, it should work (4) Resolution, not screen size (5) If you have a question, it is not news (6) Report, not respond to Spam (7) Single-Rail/Non-Modular PSUs are not always better than Multi-Rail/Modular (8) Sequential does not matter as much as random for OS drives

It's all ready in my sig.

Although it is a full tower.

The fact that it's NOT a console means it wins hands down to anything marketed as a full sized console today.

specialized yes... but we are not making some lame box that spits moving pictures at you with the effort of a dying sloth. Just roll with the idea, make a PC, and assume it will have a custom OS made for it. Try to outdo the current consoles and pretend it will get made.

Try to make something that can handle 32 players.

That's like saying "take car parts and make the bestest motorcycle"

I mean otherwise the simple answer to your question is just to build a badass computer and assume that they can shrink everything and make it cheap.

Realistically I would do

amd phenom II 955 or 720
micro atx board with 2 pcie slots(dfi jr)
2 ati 4650 low profile in crossfire(about the fastest in low profile sadly)
4 gig of ram
low profile aftermarket cooler
250gb hard drive

for case probably something like this
a media center micro atx case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112230

Now if I was really going to build a gaming system I would probably have what I have now with tri-fire 5870's or 4890's in a full atx media center case.

Minus the case you could probably build that first system for under what a ps3 was when it came out.

hdd: corsair 256gb SSD
gpu: evga gtx 295
mobo: evga x58 micro
psu: corsair 750hx
case: LIAN LI PC-A05NB
cooling: custom water kit
controller: xbox 360 wired or wireless

Grand total... ALOT

there is your "custom console" rig.

System: Money Pit
CPU
Intel q6600 @ 3.9ghz (433x9)

EVGA 780i FTW
Memory
4x2gb Corsair XMS TwinX 866mhz @ 5-5-5-5-18
Graphics Card

Hard Drive
Seagate 2x750gb raid0, Seagate 5x1.5tb raid5
Sound Card
7.1 Onboard (no room for sound card)
Power Supply
Corsair 750HX + 450w GPU PSU = 1200w TOTAL
Case
APEVIA MX-ALIEN
CPU cooling
Mugen 2 w/2 3k Ultra Kaze in push/pull
