As for hooking the Wii up. most of the Hauppauge cards have composite and S-video in on them. You could just hook it up to that tuner card.

I have it connected right now with composite and I think the picture
looks fine.  It is only a 20" TV and we sit several feet back.

I'm tempted as a short term solution to get a 19 or 20" flat panel
monitor and use it with the Myth box.  That would give me better
resolution for a smaller price and give me VGA and DVI inputs.  After we
get a real TV, I could use the monitor elsewhere.

Can't think of how to hook up the Wii with a monitor though...
