I have an HTPC I am putting together. It is one of those business units from Compaq. Now it only has a VGA output for video. My RPTV does not come with a VGA input.......only component and DVI.
What do I need to convert from VGA to one of these?

Thanks!

VGA->DVI is probably not happening. You need a very expensive transcoder.

VGA->component or vice versa needs a less expensive (but still in the $50-100 range) transcoder. Try searching for "VGA box" (although you need one that goes from VGA->component, not the other way which is more common).

Yeah I figured a new video card was the easiest. Only problem is that it needs to be a low profile one! Alot harder to find.

Thanks guys.
