Is the monitor used for gaming (and any other required unit, like the laptop you mentioned) properly connected to the correct A/V ports and turned on?
Did you ever see your brother use the game system you inherited? Are you doing what he did to get it all going?
Is there any documentation that came with the game system that explains how it should be set up?
Do you know anyone that gamed with your brother on the game system? Can you reach out to them to see if one of them can assist you? Maybe they can help you find the online forums for your brother’s favorite games and someone out there can help you.
Does the entire system from one specialized gaming outfitter? If so, contact them about your case. There may be user a forum or a tech that can help you.
There are professionals that put together gaming systems for clients. You might track down someone in your locale that does that and see if they can diagnose, trouble-shoot, or set up yours. Look at professionals that put together home entertainment systems, too. They may be able to handle it or put you in contact with someone who can.
Good luck!

Yes, I've tried it several different ways. The only thing I've not tried is the DVI out.

No, and don't know. :-(

No, I think he likely built this thing himself.

No. He lived a long way away and didn't communicate with us much. :-(

It's possible that this was what he was doing, as I know he built custom systems for people. Maybe someone didn't pay and he kept the thing. My brother never said a word to us about gaming, and there was no evidence to support that hobby, besides this machine, in his apt.
Good luck!
Thanks!
