    Im trying to hook up my desktop computer to a t.v I just bought using an s-video wire, my desktop DOES NOT have the s-video jack in the back (the t.v does obv), so im looking for an EXTERNAL s-video jack i can hook up to my computer, if there isnt such a think let me know now so I'll just have someone install an s-video card.
    If theres another way around this using dif types of wiring and I can avoid all the hassle I would love to hear it (and you will still be rewarded the 5 bucks)

    Pretty much, but not exactly, im using dual monitors so I got no room to hook up that blue thing. But this product is basically what im looking for....im kind of dumb when it comes to comps, is the monitor port (i know its called something else) the only place I could hook up an external s-video jack?....if so ill just buy an internal s-video card and you will get the $5 sir.

    It looks like they make usb to s video but the only ones i've seen are $60+ so in that case i'd go with the internal s video card

    Why do you want to hook it up via S-video, does your new TV not have an HDMI input? Almost every new TV on the market has at least 1 HDMI input.
