Plugging 360 into DVI Monitor
I am planning on buying a 22" widescreen monitor that is capable of 720p pretty soon, and I am pretty sure I know how to get it plugged in to my xbox but i just want to make sure.
The monitor has 2 DVI-D ports. One of them would be used for my 360 and the other for my macbook. For the 360, i would use a HDMI to DVI-D cable. This takes care of video. Then for audio, i would plug in the normal rca video cables to the 360 and plug the red and white audio cables into my speakers. (JBL creatures with a mini-jack to rca female converter, so it has red and white female rca's) I am not positive this will work but I'm hoping you guys can help.
I would just buy a monitor with HDMI, but that is too expensive for me, so i will have to settle with this more confusing setup.  |

Wagz. You'll need to break your audio cable cause it wont fit with the HDMI in. Which Xbox do yo own?

you could use the MS vga cable, get a vga to dvi adapter, and then use the av cables that are on that cable (the vga) to go to you speaker.
