I don't know what you are smoking... a good 3d card goes for around $120 or so.

If the types of games you enjoy playing are fighting games, this is true... 

It seems to me that if someone did a good Mortal Kombat type fighter game for
the PC that you could play over the Internet like Quake or Diablo for no extra
charge, you would make a SHITLOAD of money.

Its quite a reasonable idea... the graphics capabilities of the PC's more than
equal a console, and you would need minimal transfer of information between the
computers, so lag would be extremely low.
