Original Xbox to PC monitor

Is there an easy (cheap) way to connect an original Xbox to a PC monitor, xbox is sitting in cupboard gathering dust bot not keen on shelling out for PS3/Xbox 360 at the moment

Thanks - checked the FAQ's and this does not support the original xbox due the the VGA refresh rate (???)

I have a x2VGA+ device that is for exactly that and it also allows you to keep the PC plugged in as well.

Worked a treat for me but you have to be sure your monitor will accept the veriety of frequencies.. My Samsung monitor worked perfect first time but it has a load of switches if you need to change anything.

Here is a link a review with pictures

If you want it it's yourse for £12.50 without the cables or £17 with as they are quite heavy and worth that. PM me if you are interested.

Got a bargain there, was looking for the same for Xbox360 and cable is available for £20 (in local blockbusters!)

The xBox 360 is a lot easier to convert to standard VGA signals whereas the xBox standard was not deisgned for it so it's not just a matter of a cable. It's an entire board of tricks.
