You can't really hook it up to your PC as far as software goes.  That is unless you're running Windows Media Center edition - and then it just turns the Xbox into a glorified TiVo.

If you are asking how to hook it up to your PC monitor all you need for that is a VGA cable which you can find at most places that sell 360's.

yup. You can also get manual switch boxes if you look hard enough, to change between the 360 and the pc. I got mine off ebay.

If you have a standard monitor, be prepared for letterbox mode in anything over 640x480. The picture is awesome though.

Here's a VGA cable that'll let you hook up your 360 to your PC monitor.

If you are using DVI in on your monitor and have both VGA and DVI inputs on it then you can connect both the pc and 360 at once and just switch between them with the push of a button. That's what I do.
