Rightio, First off, I need a switch box that i can switch 2 VGA inputs (xbox 360 and PC) to be able to go into one monitor, without power from a PS2 connection, possibly using a normal power plug instead? I also have a usb mouse and keyboard that are plugged into the computer which I want to keep it that way.
I need a UK store because of the power plugs (3 pin plug)
Ebuyer and others are good
Thanks

Holy shit that was quick, besides its bulkiness and ugliness, i might give it a go if anyone else has anything better?
Around that price range is good
99% of reviews are good, worked fine for my old PC's (my gaming rig is DVI now) but 1 review says you get ghosting but the other 50 reviews say it works fine

Does it use a power plug or not?
The person who said about ghosting said that the power is dependant on the graphics card? What the fuck are they on about, every monitor has a power supply.
Nope, no plug
Lol that thing Looks so hardcore.

*sigh*
As long as it ain't visible on my desk or in a prominent place, have you got any dimensions for this thing? Not sure where I am going to put it
Probably about the same size as a PSP

I used to have one before I got a monitor with both VGA and DVI ports.

Sorry about the major bump, but I recently purchased this and my PC received ghosting, even with high quality cables.
Gonna send back and ask for a refund, has anyone got any other links to places I can get something similar for a 360/PC combo for around the same price?
Ghosting would indcate bad sheilding. You could try new egg I dought that they serve uk products but you shouldn't need power for such a thing.
As a suggestion you could covert your pc to dvi if your monitor has dvi or use that hdmi port on your xbox and convert that to dvi.

My stupid Mum went ahead and bought me a VGA 20" monitor 2 years ago and my Granddad was looking at a decent DVI monitor at the time, So i am using a VGA>DVI converter that came with my PC at the moment
