Hi Guys I have a bog standard CRT monitor. I am thinking of sharing that monitor with my X360 and PC at the same time..is it possible? Reason is that I have a old pc lying as a doorstop at my place, and I wanted to turn it into a dedicated Iburst (Izzi net) server that is switched on permanently so it's easy for me to be on Xlive. How ah? Do i need a thingamanjig called a VGA Box? thx!

Nono the Vga box will only accept composite video/s-video which will in result non-HD horrible graphics for the xbox . I would suggest a KVM switch and a vga cable for HD 360 input(rm50 3rd party) , and the kvm switch will allow simultaneous 2 vga input for the monitor . Either way if your monitor had both DVI and VGA input , then it saves all the hassle .
