the monitor doesnt have composite... but is there some sort of magic adapter that would do the trick?
thanks.

Looks a good way to do it. But £40 is expensive! Is there not just a simple adapter?
like you can have dvi to vga, or am i being stupid?!?!
there's no such thing as a cheap DVI to VGA adapter. you're thinking of DVI-I to VGA. DVI-I is a type of connector used on graphics cards, where both the digital pins (the array of pins in the connection) and analog pins (the plus-shaped section) are enabled. All the adapter is doing is changing the plug type - not the data itself. DVI-D (digital only) cannot be converted with one of those adapters.
for a reasonable analogy, consider those "worldwide travel adapters" that let you plug one country's stuff into another's - but don't change the voltage when required (e.g. US voltage differs from UK)
£40 is actually likely to be cheap tat. you need to look at spending closer to £100 for a decent VGA adapter (e.g. MicomSoft XRGB2+). alternatively, depending on the games you want to play, there's an official VGA cable - but it only works with a handful of games like Tekken.
