Xbox 360 with the gamepad keyboard is as close as you'll get to playing games for $200

As far as 'PC-based', I'd build off a raspberry pi + cheap monitor and accessories. Could play browser-games and some very basic things like tetris.

Personally, I'd look to buy an old one off someone who is building a new one.
