I've decided that I have always wanted to build my own computer.

It wanted be anything crazy, and it would be used as a server.  

However with Blu-Ray being the winner in the format war... Being able to play games and watch some awesome Blu-Ray movies would be sweet.

So... what do you think?

I play online games more... but I wouldn't mind having a console again.  And get into some more games.

Definitely a computer, you can do so much more with it.  PS3 unfortunately doesn't have anywhere near as good games as it should, although Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid will change that hopefully.

Server for what? If it's an HTTP server you want, get a PS3 and install Linux on it. Best value for money by far. Added bonus of a media centre also.

If you like online play, wouldn't a 360 be a better choice than a PS3?
But, regardless, I'd go for computer if you have money to spare

Like its been stated Blu-Ray optical drives are available for computers.  However they are a bit pricey and will run you a little over $100.  Of course you can always just pirate Blu-Ray movies and play them on your computer.

Build the computer.

A PS3 costs around how much? Couple sweet hundred dollars? You get the HD video gaming with blu ray support.

Having those equivalents in a computer costs double to triple.
