Will this computer be able to run Kingdom Hearts on an Emulator?

It's not supposed to be anyway

Also, I'm not really interested in getting a new power cable for my PS2, nor get a PS3. I love the neat-ness of putting the disc in my computer, and being able to play it on me compy :D

Do you know what an ISO Image is?
-A computer can't read game discs, because they're designed differently than traditional CD/DVD discs.
-An ISO Image is a file that is intended to be run by a program like Damon Tools that emulates the presence of a disc in a drive.
-An emulator is a program that reads special game files and emulates a console drive, allowing the game to be run on a computer.
-Power cables for the PS2 are like $5.
Coolio:
If it's not a PS2 Slim, you can buy a PS1 cable and use it. I have a Slim, so I'm not entirely sure.
Nitramtj:
Actually, computers can read PS2 discs, you don't have to download or go some other round-about way to acquire them.
Oh and also, I notice those computers you linked to have on-board graphics cards. It'd be much better to get a stand alone card, I'm not sure if on-board graphics can handle what you want to do. I mean, those types of graphics have gotten better, so they might be able to handle something as simple as kingdom hearts.
Night Fox:
I wish there was an emulator for Xbox 360s.
My TV is one of those old fat ones.
But it looks horrible.
