I need a good and not too expensive component to dvi convertor or cable or something. Not to familiar with this type of thing so was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or input on this. The component device will be a HD cable box and I want to hook it up to my monitor's second DVI. The monitor supports DVI-D/I i think. The VGA is taken up by my xbox so unless theres some sort of component to vga switch or something thats out of the picture.
Thanks
 
Component is an analog connection, DVI is digital - so you'll need some sort of A->D converter not just a cable.
 
I'm pretty sure you do need an analog > digital converter. It has this funky statement on the website about the cable:

(*)The Cable Not Support your Computer Monitor Video
Port, or Y , Cr, Cb Video. Your Video Source Must Provide a YpbPr Component Video
Signal form the DVI-I Video Ports to Use Cable.

A YpbPr signal from the DVI-I video port?
