You'll have to run the audio cables from the Gamecube either to your speakers or sound card.

I've been curious about running an xbox on a widescreen lcd monitor, but heard mixed reviews. (the image is strecthed, but blows away tv res). If it's not too much trouble, can someone post a pic (take a picture) of what the image quality looks like? I'd like to see (perhaps others?) would like to see how this looks like.

Thanks guys!

I would try my 2005fpw if it had component inputs. Sadly, it doesn't, so I stick to my HDTV.

You can get a transcoder or some vga cables for your systems. (for xbox 360, the vga cable is the best choice)

Thanks Rage187! Those pics look great and the image quality on the monitor looks pretty crisp. I think I"m pretty much sold on using a widescreen lcd monitor with my console. And using a VGA cable even, that still looks really nice.

Thanks again!
