I have seen a lot of threads of people asking how they can connect their Wii to their PC monitor and here is the solution. Not only does it do that but it also allows screen capture and recording strait to your computers hard drive.

The V-Box for Wii by XCM is more than just a VGA Box to connect your Wii console to any PC screens. It is USB based, you connect to any PC via USB 2.0 port and let you record or capture all that your Wii display on the screens.

That's reasonably clever - instead of a direct connect to the monitor, it's a just a USB based screen cap device. Looks like it support a full screen mode (which would have been the only downside if it were only Wii-in-a-window).
