Hey everyone. I have a LCD TV that I want to hook up via Component to my PC (It's either that, S-Video or Composite)

What is the cheapest way to get a component output on my computer? I purchased a ATI AIW 9800PRO, but it cost a pretty penny... and I honestly don't need a graphics card that is that powerful.. just the cheapest method to output to YPrPb.

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the reply... but:
Please note: These cables are not compatible with computer monitor ports. Your video source must provide a YPbPr component video signal from the HD15 port to use this cable.

The card I have been using in my system previously is a GeForce3 Ti200... I'm guessing that this would not provide a YPbPr component signal over HD15...

Any solutions?

ati sells a dvi to componei/nt dongle. Retail is $30 and it;s designed for the Radeon 9800s. I've got one in fs/t forums for $15. still waiting to use on my hdtv though. supports 480i/480p/720p/1080i/1080p and an option for 540p even though 540p is not supported in the drivers so dont try to enable that. nice thing, though a bit overpriced considering it;'s like 2x1.5inches. functionality is built into the drivers. my drivers(5.10s) reconize it.

this all in wonder compontnt thing might work too. $20 and for all in ownder cards only, might want to research it further to see if 9800proaiws are supported. EDIT: never mind it's for x800 cards.
