I was wondering if anyone here has a computer as a TV, I am thinking about getting a converter, as I have a nice 22'' computer screen and my TV is a old 32'' tube Magnavox and I might be getting HD Satellite TV, so I was thinking I could get rid of the old TV and just use my computer as a nice HDTV.
I need something that can input component video and RCA.
RCA
Component Video
Anyone have something like this already, or know where I could get one?

A capture card should work but for component video it may be a bit expensive, like over $50 for a semi decent one.

Yea I have one, using my 32' LCD as a second monitor and tv. It brings this happy feeling to me when I see my 360 homebrew at 720p at the end of the dayDragonfire wrote:they do make dvi to hdmi cables
