Is there a way of running the xbox or a ps2 through my pc monitor so as I don't have to have a seperate TV

I think you'd need either a TV card or a video capture card in the PC. Easier to buy a TV i would have thought.

If you don't want to use a PC, you can get a converter box to convert composite or svideo to PC vga. Cost about £30 I think. If interested I will ask mate where he bought his converter from.

Here is a link to a company selling a box that does a bit more than you need:

Not used one myself but mate at work has a converter, not sure what make it is but can't believe he paid this much for it.
