Hey all..

I am trying to find a pretty specific cable. I hope you can point me in the right direction. Here's the situation.

I just bought an Xbox 360, and also the VGA cable to connect it to a computer monitor, which actually doubles as a TV.

The VGA cable gives a much better video signal, but it means I have to switch my monitor away from the RCA jacks. This means I can't use the speakers built into my monitor.

I have external speakers and could use them IF I found a cable that had female RCA jacks, connected to a female 1/8" jack.

In the states, I could rig something from Radio Shack, or have it custom made pretty easy.

What can I do in Korea? Is there a cable place at Yongsan/Technomart/some other place?

Go to Yongsan head over to the 선인 building and you'll find what you are looking for.

If you've got the official MS VGA cable, it should've come with an adapter that's got female RCA jacks and a male 1/8" jack. Use that, then all you need is a female-female 1/8" connector. Should run you about 300 won (if that).

I found what I needed. My VGA adapter isn't Microsoft brand, so maybe it different, but I found precisely the adapter I needed at Yongsan, outside the ?? building. 1000 won.
