Can anyone tell me how to connect my 360 to my Computer Monitor so I can play it on the Monitor? I dont really know how. And are there anything extra I need to buy, like wires and such?

Same way you connect it to a standard TV. You may need to get an Input Thingy for the colored wires.

You probably need an RGB/AV adapter or something like it.

I have a VGA cable for my 360 and I love it when people come over to play it's a hell of alot quicker then having to setup a second or third TV. |

Ive actually got one of those and it works a charm. (Although I don't use it now as my 360 is on my 40" TV XD)
The best thing to do is get a VGA switch in addition to the wire so you can have both plugged in simultaneously. You can get them pretty cheap from most places just search for VGA switch http://www.amazon.co.uk/Port-Way-VGA-Monitor-Switch/dp/B000J249JC |

I use the VGA adapter. It works really good. The only problem with it is you get bleeding edges sometimes, but if you have a good monitor then it shouldn't be noticeable.
