"Xbox and Gamecube have VGA boxes that can be used with monitors, but the problem is that only progressive scan games will display using them. You’ll have the same problem using that adapter that you linked, so even if you got this working you can’t play every game unless you have a deinterlacer in there… same goes for some dreamcast games.

The best solution I can think of is 2 converters (RCA-to-VGA) and (component/console to VGA) and you switch them based on which game you’re playing…"

The XBOX 360 has a cleaner solution. No limitations are mentioned for the official XBOX 360 VGA Kit

Ink by mail

Printer manufacturers claim that only their custom inks can garauntee the quality and expected functionality from their printers.  Thay may be true, but ink is soooo expensive I’m not sure I want the "best" quality.  If replacement cartidges are "good enough", then that’s what I want.  I’m not trying to print high-quality photos or print professional brochures.

For our Epson CX4200, black cartridge (T060120)
