    either a vga box or capture card i already have a very nice/expensive graphics card so a gfx card wouldnt be the best choice. I was hoping to get something internal as in the form of a pci card

    i thought about getting a receiver with digital video out and hooking that up to my graphics card but i didnt want to spend the money and it took up a lot of space so i was hoping for some sort of internal solution which i could hook a video selector up to, also if it has a cable tv tuner and hardware mpeg2 encoder that would be a plus

    If you want true quality, get a transcoder for your ps2. If youre not too concerned with it, then just use a basic tv tuner card.

    I would recommend the transcoder route though.
