I took advantage a slickdeals.net offer and got a new PC for desktop/gaming. I am going to convert my old Dell 8100 (P4 1.4) to HTPC.

The current video card only has VGA output. Is it possible to buy a device or adapter to convert VGA to DVI or component video so that I can hook it up to my Sony Grand Vega? Or do I need to get a new video card?

TIA

i am thinking of using the additional VGA port on my shuttle to hook it up to the RPHDTV, is it going to be plug and play you think? or am i going to have to use powerstrip or something similar?

i hear you/we will need to run powerstrip to get it running correcty...

Are you asking how is the quality of RGBHV connections? It is the best analog connection available. It surpasses component, and s-video by a huge margin.

FYI, RGB are the three colors of the spectrum. And H &amp; V are horizontal and vertical sync.
