Cheapest/quality way to stream video from pc-projector

[Shawn5800]

Just wondering, i am trying to set up my girlfriends fathers golf simulator for him. He bought a cheap projector from Macys today and wants to hook his computer up to it to stream the simulator to a screen on the wall.

Problem is, the projector he bought only supports component type hookups, no dvi. I was hoping it would be dvi so i could throw in an older PCI/GAC card with DVI support i have along with a DVI-DVI cord and call it a day. I know that VGA to component has issues overall, when using just the VGA-Comp type cord. He really does not want to spend the money on a transcoder box. So...What other options do i have?

Thanks in advance

VGA to component is the only way to get around that. Other than that would be a trancoder box....
Unless you are willing to crack open the projector to see what other possibilities are in there.

does the projector happen to be http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=408666&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results ?

Yes, thats the same projector he bought. He got it for $40 new. So..I told him it was junk but he want to try it anyways. Ill just try going with a VGA -Composite cable. Thanks guys.
