got the cable today, guess I can try that chromehounds demo then...

oh wait maybe it's only VGA out =/

And you made a killing :D

Working on getting a VGA box myself
 
Gender changer is needed if your LCD vga cable is not detachable....

s4alex, I am still wondering if the set up using a tv tuner will give you delay? Isn't that the same as using TV tuner card for desktop and I have heard horror stories about the quality.

If your set up works i'll definitly try it. But that's quite a bit mnoey invested lol
tuner + xbox s-video cable....
 
allright so i got it today as wel but i guess i should have planned it out better.


my lcd has dvi and vga.. i have the dvi going to my pc so id figure i could pull out the vga cable.

edit... fuck it i just connected the vga cable straight into my lcd.. hope that works...

now all i have to figure out it the sound... what are you guys doing to get sound...i have my stereo connected to my pc and tv.. no way the white and red audio cables are going to reach to my stereo...any way i can input it into my sound card???

edit.. BINGO WORKED LIKE A CHARM... I GOT MY 360 RUNNING AT 1280 X 1024 RESOLUTION.. AND I CAN SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DVI (PC) AND VGA(360)

I NEED A SOLUTION FOR SOUND. My receiver is old so optical not an option. i guess two of these???

actually dont i need an rca jack to rca jack??

360 looks amazing!
 
I got mine today. For sound I connected the RCA cables to a stereo (? I think that's what it's called. It's whatever type of cables you can plug into most sound cards black/green/blue, etc) converter and plugged it into my LCD, which has speakers. The sound quality isn't good, but I don't really care because I'll mostly be using it for LAN parties.

It's true what I've read; when using VGA everything is sharper then component, but the colors are dull compaired to component.

I'm assuming your using an LCD right? When i changed from my 20.1 widescreen LCD to my 21" CRT...the difference was like night and day...sadly they dont make widescreen CRTs that are affordable.

if you want the sound to come from your receiver then you will need a pair of these rca jack to rca jack and a stereo rca cable that is long enough to reach.
