[mythtv-users] VGA to Component adaptors

I've seen some posts about these lately, some people building, some 
people buying. I have a GrandTec Ultimate 2000 
(http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=169832&CatId=1430) 
but I'm really not happy with the quality of the component out. It does 
some funky stuff. I switched back to S-Video and the quality is far 
superior, but everyone says component is the way to go, so that's what 
I'd like to do. I've read a bit about building your own, and it seems 
pretty straight forward, but then I see this: 
http://www.national-tech.com/catalog/vgatorcacomponentvideocable.htm 
which looks pretty cheap, but they all say 'not intended for use with a 
computer' which seems odd since it is a VGA connector.

My question is: what are people using for vga-component, and how do they 
like the quality?

Thanks for any and all info.

Tom
