You would need to buy an XBox VGA adapter - this will let you plug the monitor's lead into the XBox, via the adapter.
I've never used one myself, but I know Boom has used them before. Not sure if anyone else here has.
I don't know where the best place is to buy one, but doing a Google on "XBox VGA adapter" would probably be a start.

Is there a way of connecting an XBOX to a DVI (digital input) on a LCD monitor?

Not AFAIK.
There is an HDTV adapter available (for NTSC consoles only), which gives your XBox component video outputs, and enables progressive scan & HDTV support on the XBox.
But, I've never seen any mention of a DVI adapter for the XBox. I've just done a Google, too, & didn't find anything useful.

If you look in this forum, there is a Xbox Technical FAQ that AFAIKR tells you where to look for this.

The only problem is the fact that the PAL xbox doesnt allow hi def output and doesnt output true vga and im my experience looks rather poor on your pc monitor

A guy I work with uses his xbox connected to his monitor all the time - he seems to think that it's fine! (In fact it's a switchable unit - ie you connect your xbox and PC to the device, and then switch your monitor to whatever you want)
He's back tomorrow, so I'll get back then.
