I'm trying to hook up an OLD Xbox (without an HDMI port) up to a PC monitor that only has the power cord and the male VGA cable attached, and no other ports on it. I bought an RCA to VGA converter cable on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1370383998&sr=1-1&keywords=vga+to+rca) but it doesn't work because the VGA end of the cable is the same as the one on my monitor. Is there another adapter cable I should get to make this work? I'm not worried about sound, I already have that figured out.

This thing does that. Looks the same at both ends.
