Nice! Looking to go the RGB route? Daskrabs was posting scart to BNC cables in the Selling Forum, got mine a day after I paid, now just waiting on my scart cables for the SNES and Genesis.
The official ones were made only by Nintendo and ONLY for a limited run, as they shortly thereafter redesigned the Gamecube to no longer have component out (to save money). I got my cables off ebay many years ago for $50, and even back then they were hard to find. Everyone knew they would just keep going up in price. I have no idea what they go for now.

Not sure yet. I already have a component-out SNES and component Gamecube. Might just use it as a system-testing monitor for now, seeing as it has TONS of input ports... Can you believe I picked it up for $5.99 at Goodwill ?!
Picked all of this up on CL from a guy looking to get rid of most of his collection. All systems work, and all required cables are present as well, though I may have to pick up a few AV/RF cables, which are common and about $1 each at my thrift shop
-TONS of X-box accessories, all with necessary receivers, accessories, etc
-Gamecube with all cables, 1 controller, Zelda, Cars, 007 and Poker
-Game Boy in great shape with link cable and 6 games
-Sega Genesis with multi-out, 3 controllers, AC adaptor and cleaning kit
-2 Intellevision systems w/controllers and AC
-1 Odyssey 2 system w/ controllers and all wiring
-2 Colecovisions with 2 controllers each and AC adaptors
-Extra games and controllers for each system
Hell of a score!!
But then July 5th rolls around, and I contact another guy on CL...
He is selling an SNES for a decent price. I show up at his house (couldn't be a nicer guy by the way), and it turns out he's a collector and shows me some of his extra stuff he has: NES system CIB and everything inside mint, Really know his classic video game stuff. TONS of NES carts (see if you can pick out the good ones) Suffice to say he makes me a price I Could never in a million years pass up. Possibly my greatest in-the-wild pickup to date (possibly second-best). Neo Geo pocket, Mega Mans, Panic Restaurant, Gargoyles Quest II, FF3, Secret of Mana, Artelier Iris Trilogy ps2 NM and CIB, and SO much more! A lot of these games I'm not even sure on the value (need to do some research) Plus he promises he has LOTS more in storage and I get first crack at it. His price was SO good I had to give him some extra $$$

I wish I knew, Aren't cables a pretty easy thing to replicate?
What model monitor is that? Looks very similar to my PVM20M4U
PVM-14M2U
