Bassically i want to hook my new Xbox 360 up to my Dell monitor, and for sound i would like to use my Logitech Z-5500's. How is the best way to accomplish this? The speakers say i need a digital optical cable, and i was planning to use a VGA adapter for the Xbox, so exactly do i need here? If someone could point me to some links of what i need to purchase that would be great. Searching Google and here only turned up that people do this, but no one says exactly how and i'm very new (my first) to console gaming and their accessories.

Thanks in advance.

The VGA cable contains an optical audio out port. Get yourself an optical cable and you'll be set.

That would be perfect, but i couldn't find a VGA + optical setup. The only VGA cable i saw made for Xbox has the standard RCA (Red/White) cable? There's an optical out at the base of it? I didn't want to open it in case i needed to return it, but it doesn't mention optical out on the package.

Thanks.
