Is anybody using a computer moniter with a xbox 360 using this VGA cable? I'm thinking about getting a 360 but I don't have a TV (I'm a busy college student) let alone a HDTV. For those of you that have, how well does this setup work?

I'm using the VGA cable with my Hanns G 17in LCD monitor and I think it looks great. Much better than standard definition. :) Just make sure you get Microsoft's VGA cable and not some cheap imitation.
It works a lot better on a widescreen monitor. Some games don't support 4:3 over the VGA cable it seems. For example PGR3 was all stretched out on my 4:3 monitor, it was pretty much unplayable. Others just add black bars which is fine. The widescreen works much better though.
I tried out both on my Samsung LN-T4066f (1080p 40" LCD). While the VGA cable had a much clearer and more detailed picture, the colors were terribly muted compared to component. So until I upgrade to an elite or premium with HDMI I prefer the component cables running at 720p. Tried out running them at 1080p but didn't like the way it upscaled - a bit blurry.
