I know I have posted this in the gaming section but no luck - this is also pc hardware related so i'm posting it here, forgive me...

Hi Guys,

I need to connect my Wii to my monitor since I no longer have a tv - nor do I need or care to have one.

Is there any place in CPT (or online that I can order from) that will stock a DVI to component (not sure if thats component or RCA - if someone could illustrate the difference it would be good) convertor.

Something like:

I've tried all the usual culprits. Chaos Computers, Incredible Corruption, Computer Mania, Cafe Viva, Audio Vision, Sound and Cinema and Zackspeed with no luck.

Any ideas? I really don't want to have to order it from the states

Thanks and Regards,

You did not try all the culprits.

You are looking for a DVI-Component cable. I assume you have the Wii to component part already?

Note that in the above cables both ends of the Component are MALE!!! You will need a 3x female-female barrell connectors. They are easy to find as they are used to join multiple rca cables together.

Does your monitor have a VGA port?

Maybe someone sells this locally.
