http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/vga-cable.php I'm sure there are more tuts out there that get you to the same place too... But you'll have to look for yourself. [edit] I changed my mind... http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Xbox_VGA_HOWTO [/edit] |
| ChadTower:
Niiiice. That's the solution, best of everything. That is what I will do. Thanks for all the advice. Native VGA out gives me the input I wanted to use, doesn't need that external device, the Xbox is quiet and streams very well, gives the gaming platform. And it won't look all funky sitting there. And since I'm building this to be much more multipurpose than when I was thinking of it before I won't mind dropping cash for the Xecuter in case I want to use the external addons later. |

Xecutor 3 ordered. |

Great call on the Xecutor 3 chip. I have one and a friend of mine has one also. It is a great chip. The VGA cable seems like a lot of work. I would try the $10 cable first and see if it is acceptable before attempting something like that. But of course, that is your call. Either way, I think you will love XBMC once you get it set up how you want it and get used to using it. It is a VERY cool program. Good luck. J_K_M_A_N |

I picked up a component cable on the way home at Gamestop... $15, but works on 360 and PS2, apparently. The VGA cable does seem like some work at second glance... still, doable. |
