hey guys, just a really random one, not sure if its possible but it doesnt seem beyond the realms of possiblity nowadays, - i am building a second gaming rig, gonna have a graphics card with dvi adapters, is there anyway to hook this up to a CRT tv, its much bigger and better quality than the lcd i was gonna use

What inputs does the CRT TV have?

erm Red/white audio and yellow video, and a standard scart, its ancient

I doubt you've get anything to do that cheaply as it's going to require an electronic convert (DVI = high definition digital with a HD analogue option, neither of which is compatible with any of the systems scart supports).

It'll probably be cheaper to buy a video card that is capable of svideo or svhs (or even rgb video), than a standard conversions box.

sounds like you just need to buy a decent screen. For £100 you can get something. If your SD CRT is better than your LCD, i'm intrigued to know what LCD it is? You'll only get 640x480 interlaced at best out of the CRT, assuming you can make your card output a signal your TV can read. If you have to buy anything to make it work, don't, and just buy a new screen
