Anybody know a good, cheap component (YPbPr) to VGA converter box?

Anybody know of a good box that will let me connect the YPbPr component outs of a DVD player to the VGA input of a monitor? A cheap one, of course...

No, a straight cable won't work. There are two kinds of component video, YPrPb and RGB. Consumer electronics devices (e.g. DVD players) generally use YPrPb, and analog computer monitors use RGB. I need a box that will translate the signal from one "flavor" of component to the other.

Basically I need a cheap-ass version of that.

You probably won't find one much cheaper than that. I was looking for a cheap one for months, and thats about as cheap as you're gonna get.

Anybody have experience with that?

That's the only one I can find that's cheaper than the X2VGA.

I can personally confirm that these cables do NOT work.
I stupidly assumed I could plug in my Wii component cables and connect it to my HD monitor but a converter box is necessary.

On that note, has anyone tried this Wii2HDMI thing???
