Get the VGA cable from monoprice.com (just search for "xbox" on that site), it's like $7. A KVM switch is convenient, but not necessary

You don't need a HDMI port for a vga cable, it goes where the regular AV cables go. I use a chinese knockoff from ebay

its gold plated. I think it was like 20 bucks.

I have the 360 monoprice vga cable, and it is a piece of junk. It creates a ghosting/trailing image ingame text. Not recommended. Infact, all 3rd party 360 vga cable are not recommended. Just get the official MS vga cable, and save yourself the hassle.

I use dragon vga cables, They have worked perfectly. Just be sure to get a gender bending if your using your screens cable because male to male doesn't work.

Well..
I wasted $40 on an official cable, was kind of grainy. I bought a $7 set of ebay from hong kong and now I play on my 19in monitor in 1440x990 that looks better then my 36in 1080i tv.

You may have to change your monitor settings, but it is a hell of alot cheaper and safer to buy the chinese gold plated cables then add a vga port
