Can a Nintendo Gamecube be hooked up to a PC? How easy and expensive is it? Don't have a TV in my room, but would like to play Gamecube.

Yes, it can.you would have to buy a tv tuner do it though, they range from about $45 all the way to $200 for good ones, but you dont have to pay that much for one. $45-$70 is a more accurate price range. Getting them to work correctly is the trick, the ones i have bought have had problems. but if you buy the right one you will have no problem, im running of one that i got out of an hp media center pc, i dunno if you can buy them seperatly, and you would have to be running media center to work it. look on newegg, im sure you can find a nice one here.

and i would reccomend staying away from the $41 winfast one, i bought it and had to rma it because it waz crap, caused nothing but problems.

thats what'd you'll have to do. However, some like my ATI TV Wonder Pro, have a slight delay. Like when i put my tv on on my computer, and look at the tv in another room at the same time, my computer has about a 1 sec. delay compared to the normal tv. This would mean that when you hit a button on ur gamecube controller, you'll see the response 1 sec after you press it.

Im not sure if all tv tuners do this though
