ideas of what to do with exposed VGA cable?

[scarletxfi]

I've an exposed VGA cable (one side VGA connection[5-4-5], and other side exposed cable).
any idea what I can do with this? I was thinking of making an RCA\s-video to VGA connector (that way I can connect something with an RCA or S-Video connection to a pc screen) .
maybe someone has a better idea?

appreciate the help

VGA uses RGB component signals. To do what you propose with composite / s-video would require a decoder, for whatever standard your country uses, with RGB out. Not a trivial undertaking. If you had a DVD player or digital set top box with RGB out, you would have a better chance. Unfortunately, most seem to have yrb / yuv component out which would have to be rematrixed to RGB using something like this
