Has anyone tried connecting the Xbox 360 to a computer?

ukdoctor

JUst bought an Xbox 360. My TV is not working at the moment. Is there any way of connecting the Xbox 360 to a computer and play games on it,

NB I am aware that you can stream media from pc on to your TV using the Xbox 360. I also know that i cam connect it directly to the PC monitor using the VGA cable.What i want to know is whether I can hook up my Xbox360 to my comp and play games

Yeah, but the only way I know how is to get something like an ATI All In Wonder video card that can accept input as well as give output.

Why would you want to?

if your tv doesn't work, buy a vga lead for the 360 which will connect straight to the computer monitor. about £15

The op was already aware of that in their original post. I'm confused why the op wants to connect it to their computer.
I did ask why but now I'll have a guess. If you are wondering is it possible to have the computer and the 360 running off the same monitor then yes, you just need a kvm switch.
