Component(rca) to vga cable?

[Occidio]

I tried to do a search but all I could find was "show your monitor setup" and "XBOX 360" threads. Do they make a RCA to VGA convertor cable or do you have to buy some box that does the conversion? I want to plug my PS2, Dreamcast and Nomad into my computer monitor since I have a free VGA plug in the back of it. I tried to hook it up thru my ATI capture card but there is no way I can play with that delay. I even tried using the Dscaler route but I could not get the thing to work properly.

I think there are generic adapters, yes.

If you're upto it, I think there are actually some DIY methods for it too. Crazy stuff.

I may be reaching here but anyone think this would work the opposite direction?
VGA to S-Video

Composite (RCA, one yellow cable) to VGA? No, not possible, you need a scan converter. Can you build one? ...it's possible, there is one schematic on the web, but it is really hard.

Component (YPbPr, one green, one blue, and one red cable), you might be able to do it with, but I don't think so. People can often hook these up to their LCD monitors, but this is because many monitors come with YPbPr inputs.

...sorry for the bad news...

Yeah, I found a component to dvi (ATI) cable at a cable site, I guess I could do that for my PS2 since I have a monster component cable for that. I was hoping to get an rca(yellow) to VGA so I could hook all 3.
I could also do an S-video to VGA since I have a RCA to S-Video adapter allready. I found lots of things to go from RCA/VGA boxes and stuff to go to a TV but I need it the other way around.

I wonder if something like this would work.
Canon cable

Has anyone ever used one of these devices?
Grandtec vga converter
or Kworld LCD TV box
Kworld is only around 50 bucks but not sure which one would work better.

that is your only option. The only problem is that some of those are really slow...like, high-latency. So some of them aren't very good for consoles... just do some research before buying one (or buy one locally so you can return it if it doesn't work).

Also, you wont find a s-video --> vga cable either. s-video is the same as composite.
