Anyone know if there is a way to use the S-Video plug on a PC to display console games on a monitor?

This question really confuses me. Game Console. Monitor. What's the PC have to do with it?

You're not very clear but if you mean the typical s-video on a video card. That's an Output. If you have something like an All-In-Wonder card it may be possible.
There's also a gizmo that converts S-video into RGB (along with the other frequency conversions necessary) I don't think it's cheap though. That way you can plug your monitor into your console directly.

so let me guess, your TV is shot, and you don't want to dip into your weed budget to buy a new one?

Actually no, TV is fine, but what i wanted was to play my games on my monitor since it is much better. Weed Budget is fine.

I did a lot of searching, and the only place to buy it is from some UK websites. Costs about $95.
