Exclamation Can I use my xbox 360 on my monitor??

Well, my question is exactly what the title says, but more specifically:
1. How do I hook my monitor up to my xbox 360? (flat panel monitor with vga)
2. How do I hook the xbox 360 up to my speakers or headset? (headset is usb, speakers use the green-tipped cord)

It depends on the monitor

If your monitor can support 1920*1080 res, then it can support 1080P with an adapter through DVI

But since you only have VGA...i'm not sure, to be honest.

This cable. you can also grab a cheap 3rd party one from monoprice. I have the MS one but my friend likes his monoprice one.

Grab some adapters to convert the audio.

Use the MS cable from component to VGA, and it'll give you a little dongle to connect to your speakers. Get the official MS one as the 3rd party ones have horrid quality I hear. Also, games are best suited to 1280x1024 and will look weird in any other resolution, but I'm not too sure on this as I haven't owned a cable.
