Thanks :)

One more question, the sound has a 3.5mm jack input. I have both my 360 and PC needing to go to it, can you buy a 3.5mm jack switch box?? Can't be bothered unplugging one to use the other.

Would be ven better if I could use both at the same time, is this possible? I have a splitter that I use with my MP3 Player so two people can listen to one song with two headphones. Will this work?

No ! I almost did this until I read up about it. The two signals will feedback, at best causing interference on the output, at worst possibly damaging your pc and 360's audio hardware.

Theres a simple piece of circuitry that prevents this but its not contained in headphone splitters.

I eventually bought a three way switchbox and some short cables so I can run pc/mac/ps2 into my Aego-M's.
 
Where did you get your three way switch box? Bit annoying as I like to listen to music whilst gaming but nevermind.

Usually find switch boxes on ebay but couldn't find any.

I'm not using the Sammy as the PC monitor now, I have the monitor on my fridge :)

Cost just over £400. Paid a bit more getting it from a store but I couldn't be bothered waiting to order online.

Cheers bud. As you can see I am after a monitor/ tv solution. Very tempted by the LG in my earlier post but can't help thinking 22" is not big enough...

It might not that bad actually, I have to sit quite back to see the Sammy clearly. 32" would have been ridiculous!

A high street electronic parts retailer, its a phono switch box though so that exact items not much use to you unless you got a 3.5mm to phono cable / converter for the pc =/

Part of me is tempted to go for a 24" monitor with 1080p support as it's more or less the same price as a TV...but then I loose the flexibility of moving the TV to another room in the future.
