    HTPC and TV connection

    Hi,
    Im busy building a new HTPC from spare parts i have lying round. Ive bought a silverstone case. And im using an asus k8v-mx mobo, 3ghz sempron, 512mb ram, dvb card etc. I have a spare graphics card, its an ATI with one of the 9pin SVHS connectors. Was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that does this connection to SCART. Or is it possible to get DVI to SCART(im guessing no on this one as its digital to analogue). Any other suggestions appreciated. Might just get a new card anyway, something like a gigabyte 6600gt fanless(just weighing up my options)

    Also after some advice on CPU fans, im after something really quiet, but it can be no higher than 75mm because of case thickness, needs to be nice and quiet aswell. Cheers

    Mick

    Greetings, I'd love to go to your country someday. I'm not to familiar with the U.K's tv system (but that's what wiki's for) I'm thinking what you refer to as Svhs is s-video, either way this link should help you out http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tv...ads/op=eq.html
    www.tvcables.co.uk,
    I 'm not too sure about a DVI-Scart connection but keep in mind their are DVI to VGA adapters.

    As far as the fans go I don't know about any stores in the U.K, you could try amazon.co.uk, when I need fans I order from www.newegg.com, their fan selection is great! you can narrow your results down by size and noise. I don't know how much shipping would cost you but chances are you could find the fans you need at newegg.

    Cheers
