You can't solve the puzzle

[Rockwulf]

Here's the setup:

You have a PC with a VGA and a DVI output, utilizing both for a 2 monitor setup.

In the conference room, ~20 feet away, you have an older TV with a coax and an RCA input.

You need the cheapest and easiest way to take the primary (DVI) output from your PC and split it between your DVI monitor and your coax/RCA TV 20 feet away.



Go!

[VoldtaEngler]

I'm guessing getting a wireless DVI for the tv is out of the question.

[athenahollow]

You can get a dvi to dvi & hd15 splitter and then buy an hd15 to rca cable to go to your tv.

[eviltwin]

athenahollow wins. I was going to say you need a Scan Converter, or an RF Modulator, but if it can be done w/ cables, cool!

[Rockwulf]

Athena's plan adds up to a hundred bucks. There's cheaper ways.

[soma_stardust]

no clue whatsoever. i'm technologically challenged.

[Rockwulf]

yeaaaaaaah technologically......

[Mr Karl]

you get converter jacks and then an rf modulator and put the tv to channel three

that's a few things that shouldn't cost to much each, with all the cheap shit computer stores

dvi to component or svideo(maybe both)then to rf modulator then tv

[Ajax Knucklebones]

So, why don't you tell us how wonderful you are and tell us how you did it already?

But you can't just convert the signal, you have to split it two ways.

A shot gun blast to each offending screen.
Problem solved for about two bucks.

Where the hell can you buy a shotgun + 2 shells for $2??

[Rockwulf]

I think he's assuming I already have the gun and just have to buy ammo

[Mr Karl]

I'd just try soldering extra wires on and see what happens..............well, depending on how much it matters, the computer could be able to adjust the power.................well, whats the worst that could happen?

[Morning Glory]

I got it.

Call Geek Squad. then threaten to beat them up afterward and tear up the bill.

I think you are giving too much credit to most of the people they employ. LOL

[Mainline_Iodine]

I am assuming that he already has the gun

[athenahollow]

I am assuming that he already has the gun

LOL. Damn, and here I was hoping to get a heads up on where to buy a gun AND ammo for $2. Oh well. Back to sharpening the cleaver....

[VoldtaEngler]

Wait..is this another one of your boss' problems he needs solved, and your asking for a solution so you can get a bonus? Smart. :p

[Rockwulf]

Nah, this was for my apt.

[Ajax Knucklebones]

So Rockwulf...What's the friggin answer? Since you know it should cost less than $100.00, apparently you know the answer. Fess up fucker!

[Rockwulf]

The puzzle is ongoing.

[Ajax Knucklebones]

FUCK! It's like reading a big mystery book and the last few pages are ripped out!

Ahhh....I'm just screwing with you guys. I don't read.

[nathanmbailey]

Easy and free. Break into someone's house and steal their better tv. Problem solved.

[Morning Glory]

Nah, this was for my apt.

your apartment has a conference room?

[Rockwulf]

Yeah, it's where I keep my bed and second TV.

[OliX]

For what do you use your bedroom then?

[Ajax Knucklebones]

For what do you use your bedroom then?

That's where he keeps the girls chained up.

[Mr Karl]

so, what exactly doe you want to do? all you want is a moniter at you computer and you want to be able to see it on a shitty tv in the other room?

and you have two different outputs on your computer?

use one for each, and run the tv from the vga with salvaged shit from wherever.............

[Vitorro]

See if this isi what you need Rock, for rca to DVI connector
