    Ok, first of all I appologize in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong board.

    Ok, basically what I'm trying to do is share my computer monitor, and my computer speakers with my Gamecube. I assume I'll need a special adaptor that acts like this:

    Recieves input from VGA and video component cables
    Recieves multiple audio input.

    Outputs the video to the monitor and Outputs the audio to the computer speakers.

    Ok, so basically, I'm looking for some sort of adaptor box, which I can hook up my PC's video (VGA) and its audio to. While also connecting the component cables from my gamecube to the monitor and its audio to the same device. I need this adaptor to allow me to flick a switch, thus changing what outputs on screen, preferably something with two switches, one for choosing which audio to output and one for choosing the video to output. Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase something like this?
