Looking for Cheap CATV tv-out card...

[Hork]

I'm throwing together an extra computer from old parts to put into my daughter's room, but I want to use her TV for the monitor. Unfortunately, her TV only has cable input... no S-video, no component.

Any recommendations for a really cheap card with good CATV out?

I'd prefer fanless if possible to keep the noise down. Performance shouldn't be less than a GeForce 2 MX.

Will be used mainly for internet browsing, IMing, and listening to music, but I wouldn't mind being able to run an older multiplayer game on it as well.

I appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

I'm not sure if there are any cards out with coax output. You might want to just get a card with s-video output that has a converter to composite (or one with straight composite out) and get one of those modulator adapters to connect it to the tv.

Buy a monitor. You will not be able to read text output through that mess of connectors. 😛

Whoops, I glossed right over the reading text portion of that. M4H is absolutely right. Even s-video on a tv is not a good idea for reading text clarity for long periods of time.
