Ben Heck put up his latest How-To on Engadget today. [I got the night off yesterday] He points out that MS was kind enough to leave all the pins in the xbox video connector, so we can add our own VGA port and get some real Hi-Resolution out of it.
[yes, today's hack will be up later. ]
I hate people like the commenter’s on engadget asking why make one if it only saves you $30. It’s not purely for the savings, it’s so you say look what I made while your sitting with your buddies drinking the refreshments you bought with your savings.

thats real sweet; this wasn’t available as an option on the original xbox and if you wanted VGA you had to buy a third party device. A real pain in the wallet. If i know ms, im thinking that they wanted to leave themselves room for peripherals later – my guess would be an MS brand vga box. THen again, i havent RTFA, so i could be wrong.
Thats some real good moddin’ there, lou.
