I realize this is herasy, but is it possible to send an
Xbox360 output to a standard lcd video monitor?
Or would it be possible to send the output to a tv
tuner like the Hauppauge 350 pci card in my PC ?
It occurs to me that I might "join 'em", and still
pretend my PC was the REAL GAME BOX :-)

The signal buffering of the TV Tuner Card would make your games unplayable.
 
I have the ATI Theater 550 pci-e X1 card. It has a capture input
for S1 video, and then has the magic analog input connector
for that. I don't necessarily have to go through the channel
tuner. Output is to Viewsonic lcd VX2025WM monitor using
an nVidia 7900gto card. I also see a magic VGA cable for
the Xbox360 that would go to the VGA input of the
Viewsonic, but I don't know about PC vs Xbox360 conflicts.
I suppose I could just unplug one, but that is a nuisance
.... plus I haven't reduced the Xbox360 to the level of a "plug
in" device ... which is my goal. Even better, I think there is
going to be an Xbox360 hard drive. See nothing wrong with
sharing an external SATA. I can do that now ... and eventually
somebody is going to hack that share to become a PC
game :-) Make it think it is talking to the Xbox360. Maybe
I could network them together too. Share the local drive(s)
to the Xbox360 and be able to run much larger games.
