Hi Everyone,
i have a 5 year old pc and basically use it for playing retro games, music, dvds, and general internet.
I would like to be able to connect it to the tv for the big screen experience. I have no desire to play high spec games or the like.
I am trying to find the cheapest possible, no bells or whistles, desktop graphics card that will connect to my tv via scart or svideo preferably.
Please let me know of any that you are aware of.
Many Thanks,
N

One off eBay will do nicely: a compatible search - Buy It Now only, & 64Mb & above. Another search - with All Items, & Time: ending soonest.
If in doubt, confirm that it does indeed have a TV out before purchasing. Also make sure that it's AGP as these searches are not perfect. If you require a PCI card (not PCI-E), then go for that.
DVDs are about the only thing that's reasonably viewable connected this way (for me anyway). Remember the extra expense involved with the cables & adaptors - in the end it may be the same to buy a standard DVD player instead! G0
