Ps2, Xbox and Pc monitor

Hi everybody! I am new on these boards and have a question that don't know where to post it so I'll try here (mods, feel free to move this thread where it belongs if this is not a good section).
I just got a Acer al2216w lcd 22" Pc monitor for my birthday and would like to connect Ps2 or Xbox to it, is there any cable or adapter for that? Thanks.

I've got the same monitor right in front of me. :)

For the PS2 there was a Linux kit developed for it that also came with a VGA cable. I don't know if they are easily obtained any more.

For the original XBox there is only the signal convertor that takes the original analog signal and converts it to an RGB signal. Not very good quality...
