First off you’re going to need a NIC (Network Interface Card) in your computer. You can get one at your local computer store.
Then you will need a crossover cable, if your going right from your XBox to your computer. This can also be found at your local computer store. As for prices… I cant really help you there, seeing how every computer store is different. A NIC and a crossover cable should cost to much.
