I have one of the old Xbox consoles, and there are some fantastic games on it that aren't backwards compatible.

What I want to know is if you can buy a cable that connects your Xbox to a PC monitor? I don't want to have to trek back to my room from my office andtry to get my dusty old CRT telly up and running just so I can play an old game for about five minutes then get sick of it because sitting on my bed is uncomfortable.

Thanks, Toasty

Hmm, can you post a link to your pc monitor so we know what kind of ports and such it has?

ATI All-in-one-Wonder should do the trick. You can connect your console to the video card.
