Something like this adapter gives you component or s video.

i'm assuming it only has a VGA output?  there arent alot of cheap options for you.  the device in that link was only $70..you aren't going to build a new PC for anywhere near that.

I guess you could also buy a tv with a VGA input.

No, but for 70$ I may as well just save the cash and build a better PC with svideo.
