Wal mart has those converter thingies. Looks like an upright modem that switches between different modes of input/output. I forget what they are called. It'll be over there in the section where the Cable TV and S-Video cables are. It is a black and gray box that has different ports on it.
Here is something similar

These are anywhere from 8-30 dollars at wally world, though you might not see this particular model.
Then there are more expensive but fancier options like the Pelican Pro

Unless you can't avoid it, I would not go with the S-Video. The newest model TVs and Receivers no longer have jacks for that particular connection. Which is a shame if that's the best that one's video component can put out if they have something older, but it seems the HDMI and Component connections have pushed it out.

no, AV cable to s-video, component, composite, dvi, OR vga. My video card can take on any of those connections, i just need to get from AV to any of those.

This is what I used for my (unfinished) mini lcd project:
Adapter
It lets you take the S-video port on your video card and hook a regular video (rca) cable to it.
What I'm doing is plugging this into the back of my video card. I pass a cable through the back of the pc to the circuit board of the 6" lcd. Then in the video settings I set the lcd up as a second monitor and run dual view.Old school or the new, doesn't mean a thing if your heart's not true...
