Does anyone connect a PS2/GC/Xbox to their PC?

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone out there knows the best way to connect a console to a PC, in order to share the monitor? OCUK sell various 'TV cards' which also offer s-video / composite in, so I'm guessing that a console could supply the signal rather than a TV cable. Could it cope with the demand the console would place upon it though?

After a bit of googling around I found this chappie (hope OcUK won't mind me linking to them, seeing as OcUK don't sell anything even remotely like this)

Am hoping this might do the trick, certainly seems to anyway. Will only work with newer consoles though (progressive scan only from what I can tell), which rules out my old SNES IIRC.
