I have seriously been thinking of getting a VGA box for my Dreamcast. It's too bad the official box is so expensive though, I knew I should have picked one up when they were on the clearance rack a decade ago. I just didn't see the need at the time to hook the Dreamcast up to my 17" computer monitor. But now that many LCD TV's (including my own) have a VGA input on the back, I wish I had.

Anyone try the cheap $19.99 Chinese knock-off VGA box for the Dreamcast? Quality and picture seem pretty good?
do you think the hdmi converter might give better quality then the component one? or they should be about the same?

Also, will it make any difference if I plug the component out from the converter to my receiver (my receiver channels everything hooked up to it to my TV via 1 hdmi cable) or I should just hook it up straight to the tv.
