Hey,
Basically i've bought a new PC monitor, which is a fairly decent one compared to the previous/old LCD television in my room.

Theres two things i want to be able to do:

Through the VGA maybe get an adopter so i can plug it into my playstation/xbox. So i would be able to play my Playstation/xbox through the PC monitor rather to the television.

The second thing i want to do:

I think it's called a VGA splitter? not too sure,
I want to have two cpu's connected to the splitter, and your able to use the monitor/keyboard/mouse without changing around the wires, my dad has a similar setup in his workplace, but looking for somthing relitivly cheap for the home.


I'd REALLY REALLY appreate it if you could post ebay links (not ebuyer as i get ripped off with the delivery to ireland)


All suggestions will be rewarded with reputation.
