What about these expensive toys:
SoundBlaster or similar stereo system plus 5.1 or better Dolby wireless speakers
Full 3D Force-Feed Joysticks [1]
Wireless gaming mouse with lots of extra custom buttons [2]
Big LED screens 23 inch or larger. For better viewing, get 2 more screens.
Specialized keyboards [3] where you can define all those extra keys for games
Specialized gaming chairs with surround speakers and woofers for a full
immersive sound experience for those rich gamers (Just don't get too scared
when you hear an Alien behind you... :-D )
Gaming tables with mountpoints and plugs [and cooling fans] for all those
equipment.
I'm not even talking about those weird expensive toys like clothes, gloves and
helmets just for games.
Printers? You can keep your printer, unless you publish your photos or game
victory screenshots on glossy papers.
Text based games from CBTTAPE for mainframes are soooo different against a full
immersive 3D 'shoot them' up games, but then I think it is unfair to compare
old technology with new technology.

[1] - Joysticks were available for CAD or such applications on mainframes.
[2] - Trackballs and lightpens were also available for mainframes. Think Air
Traffic Control or CAD.
[3] - Those weird keyboards have rows on rows extra keys with LEDS under so you
can quickly see what key to press. These keys are also strategically placed so
your hands and fingers can touch those keys faster.
No fancy hardware, no gaming software. Just two large LCD displays and
apps like PCOMM, x3270, ssh, Office, email, java, browser, IBM
Bookreader, Softcopy Reader, etc.
In short words - typical business PC plus some mainframe-specific apps.
