Hi all
I've been thinking of getting a Wii lately... except I don't own a TV. So how hard is it to use my 'puter's monitor instead?
I guess i'd have three options for connecting
1: directly into monitor (dell 1905fp)
2: into video card? (Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900)
3: into TV tuner card (some hauppage pci jobbie)
Which of these is easiest, in terms of obtaining adaptors or specialised cables or whatever?
Sorry I'm a bit ignorant, I've never actually owned a console and my only tv ever was from about 1977...

I used to run my Wii off my Gateway widescreen. Your only real bet is to go directly through the monitor, via the hard to find Wii VGA cable, or preferably, through the component jacks. If you try and run it through the TV tuner, you'll end up with nothing more than a big headache, a little heartache, and massive amounts of controller lag.
