how do you connect your xbox to your monitor?

Answer 1

For an original xbox (not xbox 360) you will need to do a custom cable or purchase one.

However, I made one with an ethernet cable. This, unfortunately only works on projectors/hdtv, and not neccessarily on VGA monitors, although it might work on some.

See the sites below for more information on how to make a cable.

Answer 2

I don't know if you mean your computer monitor or your tv, but your system should have come with some cables to connect into whatever you want to hook it into. There should be three colors, yellow, red, and white, which should corrospond with the colors of the plugins. Also try looking at your owners manuel.
