Look for a diagram that shows HDMI-DVI. You won't need any conversion circuits or anything, as HDMI and DVI are the same; HDMI just contains audio as well (and the pinout is probably different). That's what you'll need, and then you'll have to wire it up by hand (like Ben did in the most recent Xbox 360 laptop).

You could use the VGA out, than use a VGA to DVI adapter to get DVI. I don't know if that's what you are looking for...

If your Xbox 360 doesn't have HDMI then wiring it up to the DVI port isn't going to give you a better signal. Just connect it to the VGA port and that will be the best you can get.

I'm not sure that you need to use DVI to get a better signal. Google: difference between dvi and vga. It probably depends on your monitor. And how are you planning on making your case?
