I bought a box from gamestop for under $50 that lets me hook a composite
or y/c source up to a VGA monitor.  I can't seem to find it on their web
site though.  It was in the display area that sells things like video
switch boxes and such.

I know I've seen such things on eBay, but I'm having trouble hitting the
proper search terms at the moment.

There has got to be a better place to buy them, but
http://www.lik-sang.com has several such devices for $50ish.
Specifically:
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=219&products_id=3166&
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=219&products_id=3235&

Their shipping rates are pretty decent the last time I ordered from
them, if you have it shipped via some slow method (lik sang is in hong
kong).
