Assuming your computer monitor has a VGA input, what you need is this:

If it only has a DVI input, then use the instructions in this link:

Ok so it's got both DVI and HDMI. If your Xbox has an HDMI port, then there ya go, use that. If it doesn't, use the DVI link I gave you in my last post.

That's something you're going to have to figure out. :) Some sort of stereo would be easiest, something you can plug the Xbox's Red/White (or TOSlink optical) audio cables into.

Yes it has a HDMI Port. I got the Xbox 360 Arcade,meh really wanted the Elite but tax snagged me grr. the elite cost 299.99 plus $18.00 tax grr and $99.00 plus $6.00 tax for Rock Band 2 kit grr. lol

I should of gotten both online,there was no tax then,oh well lol.

Hmm now that ya know my 360 has a HDMI connection what sort of cable should i get?

Would this work? Sorry for newb questions :(

Didn't I already answer that? :) An HDMI cable. And yes, you can use that one that you linked, which would also include the audio connections you'll need.
