they make a converter so that it will work, or if you wanted you could get a tuner card for you pc with composite inputs and use that. I would go with the second one so then you could do tivo stuff and watch tv instead of getting a seperate screen.

You can get a monitor with a built in tv tuner that will have the inputs that you need.

You need the converter to turn the xbox into a VGA port to work on your monitor. Neoya X2VGA+ is the one you want.

So wait, you don't have the cash for a TV, but you have the cash to buy a monitor to use?

TV's (CRT's anyways) are extrememly cheap right now...and despite the fact that flat panel monitors are going down, they're still nowhere near television prices.
