Are there any accessories that will allow multiple video devices...

[Arkitech]

I would like to connect several devices to an Acer 22 widescreen monitor, but the Acer only has a DVI and VGA input. I was thinking of attaching a X-Box, Gamecube and a ReplayTV to the monitor. Anyone know of an accessory that might do that job?

Also what's a good recommendation for an inexpensive set of speakers for gaming (2 pair or 5.1) under 150 bucks? Same question for the receiver, but under 75-100 bucks. I'm looking for a really cheap way to get sound and video going.

klisph promedia, logitech z5500 if you want 5.1 set for gaming.

If you want to go speakers + recievers, get any cheap receiver and whatever speakers you can afford on your budget

I was looking into hooking my x-box to my monitor and found out that some of the connectors to do that were at the price range of around 100 dollars. I simply didn't find it worth that high amount just to connect a console to a monitor

yeah I don't blame you

I'm thinking of looking for a receiver that does DVI out but also accepts s-video or componet. That would kill 2 birds with 1 stone for me. I'll post up what I find. Also I think I found something that will work for speakers. I saw this link in Hot Deals. I'm going to look around a bit more tonight and tomorrow, if I don't see anything cheaper I'll probably pull the trigger on that deal.
