Wait, are you just trying to plug up your 360 to the monitor? If so you could get a (correct me if im wrong) kvg switch (check newegg.com for some kind of vga splitter) and plug ti up to the monitor and then you can have the computer plugged up to the monitor and the 360 plugged up to the monitor and all you would have to do is flip the switch. If your monitor has component inputs then just get the component cable for the 360, if not you will just have to get one of these, or something similar with a vga output-

And a vga cable and plug it up that way.
So yea it's possible.

Btw, you got xbox live? I know a couple of us are trying to get 360's for Christmas (me & bkfraiders7), maybe we can hook up and I can pwn you guys at some games.

Ace is pretty good. Me tho........im crap right now. I havent played in FOREVER (i play a little with my cousins. I dont have a xbox tho so i cant play regularly. But when i get my 360 i will be on mostly everyday i bet) so im really bad.

But i will be playing daily and getting better. My cuz whos level 26 or 27 is starting to help me out.


And btw, u can always opt to get a TV tuner for ur computer. I have one for my laptop and what do u know, it came with a adapter to connect a game console too. So im really to whoop yall in Halo
