No. You can't play PC games on your PS3 by utilizing it as your Graphic Card. I don't think MSN is supported in PS3, however there's a chat function in PSN. (PlayStation Network)
Act as wireless modem? Nope, however it has built in WiFi and a ethernet lan slot.
PS3 is can play those Blu-Rays, DVDs and CDs.. It could spoil the lens by excessive playing of pirate DVDs/BluRays/CDs is being played of.. The lens can be die in anytime too if it tends to be overheated (YLOD).
PS3 doesn't support dual screen display.
The RAM on the PS3 is firmly soldered onto the main PCB. Plus, there's no one has upgrade their rams before. (Or if anyone does?)
Anything is possible to overclock, but then PS3 is not possible to overclock a.t.m, somehow it could be overclock in future, who knows?
Using a USB Keyboard and mouse is possible on PS3, but not for gaming. Unless you're talking about gaming mouse specially for PS3 like FragFX, Fragnstein, etc.
You don't have to mind it it's illegal or not, because mod will take care of them. So no illegal talks in this forum, like piracy games etc.

wanna ask a question, not sure ppl asked b4 or not
my current router can support ps3 online, connection type NAT 2, can surf can game online
but the problem is, i face heavy latency always, tried to set dmz settings already, still no avail
take tekken 6 as example, most players i see are 1 or 2 bars, sometimes can see 4-5 bars player, but still lag also
my isp is streamyx, 1mb package, surfing on pc is smooth, downloads can reach 140kbps+-
my router is d-link DI-524 + ZTE TM modem
i'm thinking if change router or modem will solve the problem?
Online gaming is not all about download and upload speed, the ping plays an important roles too when comes to online gaming..
Changing router or modem will not solve your problem if u're having high ping on your line
