What systems do you have?

VGA box? Or did you mean VGA socket? In any case, is a special adaptor needed to link between monitor and console?

Also, with a vga box you can connect not only home consoles, you can use dvd players, digital cameras, vcr..

Smart. I did think somethimes if it were possible use computer in place of a TV and now it seems it could work after all. I ought to try that then, get home consoles and play via the monitor. Just gonna have a problem finding a place to put them in - I have a really small room and my computer fills about 30% of it right now.

Things to use any console other than a Dreamcast on a computer monitor are ridiculously expensive and result it really poor quality signal.

Hmmmm...doesn't sound good. But still, that wound stop me if I wanted to go ahead and test it out. I wonder if the upcoming Wii system would work with a computer screen anyway? If it did, I'm getting that console and add to my collection I have!
