Am I understanding this?

If you want to go from VGA to component (YPbPr), then you could use one of those boxes, but some video cards can output that signal already. If you want to use SVideo or composite, you could use one of those boxes but, again, your video card might do it already.
I've used those boxes and have found them clunky at best. IMO, you would be better off spending the same money on a new video card that has the output you need. That way you can simplify your setup and get better quality video (some of those converters are kinda crappy).

I was just wondering so I could have my options open. Im using an LCD in the cab im building now, but I might change it out at some point. Thanks for the reply. :)

Seconded bkenobi on all points.
Find a video card that sports the outputs you're looking for. I've messed around with all sorts of video scalers/transcoders and in the end, it's always easier to use a proper source output, to a matching video input, built to spec by the manufacturers of the display.
