A VGA->DVI converter costs more than the Xbox 360, for which DVI output is not available at the moment. It'd make more sense to spend the money on a 24" LCD that has a VGA input, or a TV with component inputs, than to spend hundreds of dollars on a VGA->DVI converter.

For reference, this is the kind of thing you'd need. Costs $299.

Sell your ADC and get a Dell 24" LCD. It will have all the inputs required, plus a hub and memory car reader.
