What would I search for to find that second cable...?

You need a cable that goes VGA to HDMI?

Lets see. VGA runs of a telephone like connection. HDMI Runs on fiber optic.

You don't have a DVI port on your monitor?

I do, but I also want sound. That bundle comes with both of the HDMI to VGA and sound cables, otherwise I'd need to get one of those dual female adaptors that go to male, and the a female to female thing to plug my speakers into.

Wait no it doesn't. FFFFFFFFfffffffffffff

To tell you the truth, I don't trust the second cable link you posted. VGA to HDMI should be impossible. If I were you I would get:

Looks good. Then get the dual male ones you said.

What's this "DVI-D"?
On the back of my monitor it just says DVI. Will it still work?

Yep.

DVI Can use two signals: Digital and brown townog. Your Monitor can support both also. However, HDMI Only uses digital, and VGA only brown townog. Thus this cord only supports Digital (As it gets its signal from digital), but your monitor supports both.

Alright, everything I need put together + shipping totals to: $40.38
I'll order it tomorrow.

Thanks Digmaster :D

It would be much easier to use a flat screen TV.

Save up your money. And space.
$40 of cables vs. $500+ for a TV.

DVI and HDMI are pretty much the same thing except for the sound.

Also DVI supports both brown townog and Digital Signal, vs. HDMI's Digital only.

Why should he care? He's looking up a PS3 to a monitor that isn't from the stone age.

Comes into when we were talking about HDMI to VGA.

Newegg is all out of RCA female to RCA female adaptors.
Anyone know any other site where I could order either everything or just those? I would really like to get the order done today.
List of what I need:

- DVi to HDMI cable (Newegg has)
- Mini Stereo to RCA male adaptor (Newegg has) looks like this
- RCA female to RCA female adaptor (Newegg doesn't has D: )

Double hump, I found this website:
http://www.kvconnection.com

They have an RCA female - female - female adapter, so that eliminates my need for that female to female adapter, as for the DVI to HDMI cables, will this do?

Or should I pick a different one out of these:

Someone please answer D:
(Does Dig have MSN or anything?)

My monitor isn't HDCP compliant, the DVI won't work so I went with the second option.
Thanks to all who helped.
