I recently picked up an old monitor for free, a 17" CRT. I was hoping to use it with my Radeon 9800 AIW as a second monitor to watch TV, play video games, etc. I have been looking around for any adapter that will convert a component, composite, or s-video to a VGA without the use of one of these http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=2011&sku=40227&engine=adwords!654&keyword=%28s+video+vga%29
It is too much money to use something i got for free, and i was wondering if there existed an adapter of sorts that would do the same thing for a lot less and not add to my already ridiculous computer acessory closet. Thank you very much for any help.
