Q.
A. Yea I bought one bc I was short on cash and you can basically turn it into an elite i bought the 120gig hard drive and HDMI cable. You'll just need to get an HDMI cable for it from a store like Walmart or bestbuy. Unless the monitor doesnt have the correct hook up then more than likely you'll need an S-video cable or a converter.

A. The arcade only comes with the standard component cables (Yellow, Red, White.) So you wouldn't be able to connect it off the bat to your monitor.
You would need to buy the VGA cable. Which, unless you have a 30" plus monitor, then you wont really notice a difference in quality of picture from DVI. As VGA is capable of 720p and 1080i. It's just that the cable is an analog format so the signal is converted from digital, to analog and back to digital, which does degrade the quality a bit. Though to a normal eye, it's only noticeable on a larger screen.

I used this cable for a while when I used a 25" LCD for both a secondary computer monitor and for my xbox. Worked great and the picture quality was great.
Though, unless your monitor has speakers you wont have any sound.
If you have an external speaker system, then you need to run the red and white audio cables from the VGA adapter to it.
Alternatively if you have an line-in jack on your computer and a compatible audio card, then you can buy an RCA to 3.5mm converter that will take those red and white audio cables and make it usable to a standard headphone jack.

Which then will allow you to plug it in on a line-in connection on a computer. Which then through some work around in your sound settings you can have the xbox play through your PC speakers.
Hope this helps
