Which lead do I need to connect a 360 to DVI slot?

I am looking to connect my xbox 360 to my monitor in the signature. I have my monitor connected to my PC using a DVI cable. I know that you can get a VGA cable to connect the xbox to a VGA monitor. Can i just use a converter to convert the VGA into DVI to go into the monitor.

Also, Is there anything that exists that I can plug both the DVI lead from my PC and the VGA/DVI lead from my xbox into which connects to the monitor which will allow me to quickly switch which lead I want to display from?

The audio is not a problem, I will connect this to my amplifier.
 
You may be able to convert it. The VGA 360 cable has two component cables on it, so does your monitor have those inputs?
You could also try a capture card, if you have one.


I'll look around for some alternatives.

If your 360 has HDMI, then you can use an HDMI to DVI cable. If it does not, then you will have to use the VGA cable and get an adapter to change it to DVI. As for your other question, I'm fairly sure you can just use a KVM switch.
