Is it possible to hook up an xbox 360 to a computer?

[ricleo2]

I am about to get an Xbox 360 that I would like to hook up to my computer. Does anybody know if this is possible? I would like to use my monitor, audigy2 sound card, and my logitech 5.1 speakers. I have called several local gamestops and nobody there could help me. Thanks for any responses.

Link to my local retailer because Adaptec's site sucks and I can't find it

connect the 360 directly to your monitor's component inputs, then connect the audio to your soundcard's line-in. you're only going to get 2.0 sound from it that way, though. getting the DD5.1 from the 360 to work would be quite a chore, and may not even end up working. easiest way to get it to work is if your speakers have a optical input and can decode Dolby Digital. otherwise, I'd just use a stereo RCA to minijack adapter and connect directly to the speakers.

Looks like I can hook the 360 to my monitors component inputs and the optical input to my PC speaker system. Then I can just switch input modes on the monitor's and speaker's front panel. Thanks Raduque and Fishy007.

I used an ATI TV Wonder with a PS2 for a while.

They make a VGA cable for the 360 I'm pretty sure. I take it though that there isn't any 6 channel analog outputs for it?
