Hooking a Gaming Console to a PC???

[Krueger81]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out a way to hook up my xbox to my PC. I have an 18.1" LCD in my room and really do not want to buy a TV so I can play my xbox on there.

Is there any card I could buy that would accept like an S-Video Signal. Unfortunately I do not have an AIW or VIVO Card. Just a straight Radeon 9800 Pro.

Thanks
Phil

Yeah, an AIW or VIVO card will do it.

There should be some way to do it thru usb unless im thinking of the ps2.

My burning program malfunctioned, froze. I tried to cancel the burn and exit the program, looked like that froze, or was taking too long so I just manually (by use of holding the on button) shut off the computer and then turned the comp again. The CDR wouldn't keep burning after I rebooted and when I opened the drive would it? and thereby leak radiation? (idk if that kind is even harmful)... and damage my cdrw drive?

THanks.

if you just want to use the lcd monitor, there are some some vga boxes ( $75 or so) which would work.

Just get a TV Tuner card. There are many choices.

I personally have the ATI TV Wonder Pro. It is.... "ok". It has Svideo input. You could also watch TV on your computer as well. And it works in conjunction with your videocard, so you can upgrade your videocard and not lose TV support (unlike the AIW cards where you need to get a NEW AIW card to keep that functionality).
