Need an external tv tuner for games only

[aeridus]

Are there any good external tv tuner type devices that I can use for my game consoles (PS2, Gamecube)? I don't need anything fancy, and I'd prefer if it didn't even have the tv tuning capability as I don't watch TV. I have plenty of free USB slots but almost no internal slots due to having two GTX 280s in SLI.

Thanks for any tips!

Lost me. Wouldn't a TV without tuning capabilities be a monitor?

Or even a capture device may suit your needs

You may want to purchase them locally though. I find that some TV tuners "especially the ones WITH hardware acceleration introduce lag. While the lag isn't a factor for watching TV, it's a deal breaker for games.

Ultimately I'm just trying to get Gamecube and PS2 output onto my monitor, I don't want anything fancy. I'm starting to consider Startech's Video Game Jockey as it's $50 and hooks up directly to the monitor. I have HDMI, DVI, and VGA inputs on my monitor but the DVI port is currently being used by the PC.

I finally decided to buy the Video Game Jockey and it works great. Don't need to fuss with connecting much to my computer other than an audio cable, and the quality's as good as can be expected for the price. This is a great way to use my old 19" monitor.
