Well I'm looking to play my Xbox, PS2 & GC on my pc. I've done some reading, and I'm wondering if this will do the job :

http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/tvfm/overview.htm

^^^ Goes best towards my budget, I'll also be using DScaler. I don't mind using S-video cables to, just as long as i'm getting decent quality.

I'd also like to watch TV, but I guess that's pretty standard.

-Thx in advance.
 
It'll work, but almost all encoder cards introduce a small delay (usually ~1/10th of a second) in the signal before displaying it on the screen. This doesn't sound like much, but ruins any sort of fast-action game (fighting games, shooters, etc.) in a hurry.

Get a component/S-video->VGA transcoder (a so-called 'VGA Box') if you want to display a game console on a VGA monitor.
 
its also particularly bad playing on a TFT,

i hooke my ps2 to my avermedia tv card thru the s-video in conector (im sure just plugging the RF cable in would of been better, i lost the ps2 one) and yes there is a slight delay on it, but worst of all, forget full screen unless u have a CRT. if anything brings out the worst in a console game its a TFT

console games are 640x480, and the ps2 in particular can no longer hide its jaggy rending behind the interlacing on a normal TV. the PS2 on my 17inch tft which has a native res of 12x10, looked crap, extreme aliasing, crap blurry textures, and the tft running out of spec its just not nice
