If I can hook my monitor up to it through dvi, and my USB keyboard and mouse, I might consider getting the Xbox360 instead of a computer upgrade, though strictly for gaming of course. You know eventually computers are going to be as streamlined as consoles, and eventually Microsoft will monopolize the entire computer/gaming/home entertainment market. They will create 1 system that will do everything, and then as techonology advances, they can sell streamlined M$ certified updgrades.
