Is it possible to connect an Xbox and a PC to the same TFT monitor simultaneously?

I have an Xbox with 14" tv and a Dell 3100 with the regular Dell E176FP TFT monitor...

i am thinking of moving the TV to another room and having the XBox connected somehow to my Dell Monitor ...... but I don' want the hassle of constantly unplugging cables etc

i need a solution that means I can use both the PC and Xbox indepedent of each other without the hassle ........ any ideas please ...... what extra equipment do i need

Afaik the Dell monitor has VGA inputs only with no DVI ...... I really don't know what that means ....... and whether that is a problem or not!

Thanks in advance for any replies

    This should do the job as long as you have either a component or Svideo cable for your xbox I cont have an xbox so I dont know what cables they come with , but the unit above will take a vga input, svideo and composite up to 3 inputs and 2 put puts either a composite or svideo to a TV or to a vga for a monitor.
