Anyone using a Wii on a VGA monitor?

    Hi there,
    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with using their Wii hooked up to a VGA PC monitor?

    I've had a bit of a google around but not much came of it. Searched eBay for wii vga and came up with this (and a couple of similar boxes)

    http://cgi.ebay.ie/VGA-Box-Converter-Wii-Xbox360-PS2-Xbox-PS3-to-PC-NEW_W0QQitemZ200157708538QQihZ010QQcategoryZ147176QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Looks like it's exactly what I need (I have a TV in my room I bought about 5 years ago, 14" so it's not really suited to games) but has anyone got experience with a box like this?

    Quality any good or is it comparable with playing it on a regular TV?

    I have a 19" Dell monitor that only has VGA in so should be a bit better than my TV.

    That eBay seller has a fair few negative/neutral feedbacks for slow shipping though so would there be anything comparable in Maplin or Peats?

    Presumably all you'd need is a box with VGA & composite in and VGA out with a switch between the two?

    Preferably I'd like a little box that I can just leave under the desk as I don't want to have to have to unhook my monitor from the PC every time I want to switch between PC and Wii...

    Edit, I should actually mention I'm not sure whether it's composite or componenet or whatever I have on the Wii... It's the one with the red and white for audio and yellow for video into a scart connector
