If your monitor has a DVI input, then you should be able to get by with some HDMI to DVI cables: http://www.optimization-world.com/products/catid/4.html.

Thanks, I'm kinda a newb with this but how would i plug my audio cables into my speakers? I dont have a ps3 yet so not really sure how its set up. For my 360 I bought a AGP thing to run to the monitor and it split off the audio cords to plug into my speakers.

thanks again

I've had only limited experience with PS3s, but I think there is a digital coax output for hooking up to a receiver. There may be some stereo RCA outputs available too if you get another cable.
