I have a Xbox 360 that I want to connect but my PC monitor doesn't have a HDMI port. It only has VGA and DVI. My CPU does have a HDMI port. Will I need to buy something? How can I make this work?
 
Solution
1. You can buy a DVI to HDMI adapter or cable. However you'll need to get sound out somehow. You can try to use the xbox 360 audio breakout cable that has the optical and RCA audio ports. Use a 3.5mm to RCA cable to hook sound into your mic port.

2. You can buy a capture card that will allow you to run the x360 in a window on your PC
