thinking to put a VGA-to-DVI converter on the mobo, then hook up a
DVI-to-component converter that I've found online.
Could there be any problems with this combination?

Nice, but...
The paragraph below sounds kind of ominous. Can somebody figure out
whether or not that means that it will not work with a regular VGA
output on an embedded GeForce 7050?

This cable is primarily used for connecting video projectors with
Component-in capability through it's VGA port. It can only function with
a VGA port that is either able to recieve or transmit Component signals
(Y, Pr, Pb).
IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPONENT VIDEO SOURCES TO A
REGULAR COMPUTER MONITOR OR HDTV unless you monitor specifically has
this capability. Most do not. (Please check the documentation for your
computer monitor)
THIS CABLE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER'S VGA PORT TO THE
COMPONENET INPUT ON YOUR HDTV unless your video card supports component
out function through it's VGA port (please confirm with your video cards
documentation before purchasing)
This cable will not convert RGBHV into Y, Pr, Pb.
This cable will not convert Y, Pr, Pb to RGBHV
This cable will not support Y, Cr, Cb.

Sorry about that, I didn't take the time to scroll down and read the
warning. Well I guess if this wouldn't work, I don't see how a
VGA-to-DVI and then a DVI-to-Component cable hook up will work.<br>
