OK, help me out here.

As much fun as it's been having the Dreamcast hooked up to one of the monitors, I'd like to be able to swap out and plug my Saturn in there, or my SNES, or who-knows-what system that's A/V compatible.

I think I've seen somewhat "all-purpose" A/V to VGA boxes around, though somewhat pricey. Has anyone used one of these? Can anyone suggest a good all-purpose solution to what I'm trying to do?

I keep hearing the XRGB-1 Upscan converter from Micomsoft is some great stuff. In any case, it's the best thing I've heard of for this price range, and it's targeted at older consoles Here's one (need to ask the guy what that On Hold stands for though): http://nfg.2y.net/sales/html/EpZyyAEyyVPiPsTssI.html

I've been looking for the same thing.

I'll second the X-RGB, recently it's just been hard to find one.
BTW, upscanning composite isn't worthwhile, the quality will be poor even with X-RGB.
