Not to mention PC games that have console versions (at least some of them, and I'm not sure if having a console version is a necessity) like Fallout 3 and Prototype have native (handheld) controller support. You can get Logitech and I think both Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers and use them. There are even more brands I think. Even without controller support, the controls can be mapped using programs (at least with some controllers like the Logitech one I have here).
Aside from that, Kinnect development has been going on the PC I think. I remember something about an SDK released for it or something some time ago. Not sure if PC versions of Kinnect-enabled Xbox games can use it though if you plug it into a PC.
I have some legal/moral concerns about emulators for PC's. I think for it to be alright, you have to own the corresponding console. But anyway, that aside, I think you might not be able to expect the same or better performance with somewhat similar PC hardware using an emulator as there's a lot of performance overhead with them I think, not sure though since it would depend on the specific emulator.
Though not a nice example, I'm currently playing/trying out Elder Scrolls (I): Arena using DOSBox on this Atom-powered netbook. It's really laggy, which it shouldn't be I would think, it being a 1994 game and this netbook can play Warcraft 3.
BTW, just pointing out this, what I assume to be a typo, you probably meant ("$3000-2000").
