Hi everyone, I registered on this site a while back but forgot my username, so i've registered again now i have some equipment and need a little help, hope you knowledgable guys can help me.

Ok, i have got a HP e-Vectra SFF pc, which I have done a search on and realised its possible to change the HDD to a 2.5" laptop version and run the little beauty staright from the battery which is great tbh.

Secondly i have a Centurion PP65 - non touchscreen monitor.

Now heres where my problem starts. The e-pc is pretty much non-upgradable cept for processor and memory, and thus I am using the on board graphics, the on board graphics do everthing i need them for however, my e-pc only has a VGA connector on the back of the machine, and the LCD TFT only had the RCA's (L/R audio and Yellow video) So im stuck, is it possible to get a convertor now? I search and found some thread from ages ago which state you cant without getting a signal convertor, the VGA to RCA adaptors only work on computers which can TV out, which im not sure if this PC will.

The e-pc cost me £17 and the screen nothing, it was left over from work when we switched to selling different models. If there is no soloution i will sell the monitor and buy a touch screen.

If not can you get LCD screen with the VGA input on them? a link would be great, thanks very much.

9 pin input for monitor (Audio, video and power i think)



These cables connect onto the 9 pin



Hope you can help, cheers

a VGA monitor will probably give you better clarity, but also you can upgrade to touchscreen (yay!)

however if you do need a converter - try googling VGA to TV converter.

Word of Warning - Some of the results will be a passive device which is just a cable, these are designed for some graphics cards that can output TV resolutions and refreshes, most of them cant.

Something like - http://www.redstore.com/OEMGPC046 is what your after, and it handily draws power from the USB port. Winner

Thankyou very much, didnt think they were as cheap as that, still toying with the idea of a touchscreen though
