Anybody got a Wii to play on a monitor?

[the lemming]

Just got a Wii for my 40th last week and I enjoy playing with it.

However there is a problem. We only have one telly and my other half loves to watch the Soaps, all Soaps and all the time. This then only leaves me a window of opportunity of maybe a couple of hours at the weekend.

So peeps, has anybody been able to get a Wii, with a composite signal to play on a TFT monitor?

My monitor takes VGA and DVI connections. My graphics card has two DVI connections as well.

Please help a poor lemming out.

Cheers

Buy wii VGA cable adapter on ebay. Use VGA connection in monitor for wii connected through Component to VGA adapter and DVI connection for PC.

There are normal Wii->VGA cables out there.

This one has rave reviews but is pricey, http://www.vdigi.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=2&category_id=3&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1&Itemid=1

Google a bit I would suggest.

Google is indeed a fine option however I have yet to be able to find anybody that has actually got a Wii to work on a monitor.

I'm hoping that their experiences will help me to buy the right cables as opposed to buying loads of different models in the hope of getting lucky.

The vdigi cable I listed works. There are reviews on it out there with screenshots.
