The PS2, as far as I know, won't display on a standard computer monitor.

As far as getting it online, get a cable router in order to hook up both your computer and your PC to the net. Otherwise, you will have to unplug it from your computer and plug it in to your PS2 in order to play online.

i think there's a device to let you play xbox/ps2/gcube on a computer monitor, and u need a router unless you only use one at a time

To use a console with the monitor you will need a scan converter. Don't just get a cheap one either, I've got a cheap scan converter and the picture is pretty washed out. I've seen some nice ones that look great though.

We've played the GameCube on the PC monitor using an All-In-Wonder card and it looked great. Maybe get a cheap tv tuner card?
