I want to know if it is possible to hook up multiple consoles to a VGA monitor. Right now I want to have my computer, my DC and Xbox all sharing the same display, but I'm not sure if this is even doable because I can't seem to find anything like a VGA selector anywhere.
Any advice would be appreciated :)

You might want to check out the XRGB-2 (http://atarilabs.com/meat/2001/0120_XRGB2.shtml). It's meant mostly for older consoles though.

Hey
I have a VGA scan doubler switchbox that will take 4 composite and stereo connections and switch them to my monitor and an alternate pair of speakers. It gets its power from a USB connector. So I can switch between my computer and 2 Sega's I have hooked up.
I almost never have to leave this room. :)

You could get a KVM switch (Keyboard, Video, Monitor) and just use it for the monitor. You can get a four port one for around $30.00.
Some monitors also have multi-ins. My LCD monitor has three regular connections and a DVI connection. I use the DVI for the computer and the regular one for my Dreamcast.
