You can plug your Xbox 360 into your monitor, assuming you have the right
connectors. Typically you'd need a VGA lead for your Xbox 360, but some
monitors have component and HDMI input too.

Follow what Paul has suggested for using the monitor directly.

You really don't want to play your Xbox 360 game "through" the Media Center
Edition computer because there is a buffer of a couple seconds on the video
cards which is guaranteed to absolutely ruin your gaming skills. Unless
you're some sort of gaming Ninja, you wouldn't be able to absolutely
correctly forecast the moves a couple seconds in advance.
