Back of the computer

[pip1011261]

Hi im new here and have a quick question about the back of the computer.

I have an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.8GHz 504MB RAM (that means nothing to me)

Im just wondering what the green and blue holes/plugs on the back are for.

I have 3x 17" monitors hooked up in the back and am trying to get my sony ps2 to work on 1......is this possible or can i just buy an adapter so i can use the monitor and play the sound somehow through the computer.

Any ideas to get this to work would be much appreciated as im sick of having to plug and unplug the ps2 from the tv all the time.

green and blue holes are PS2

The green and blue holes are at the top?

If so they are probably the PS2 keyboard and Mouse interface holes

Yeah, if they have a load of little holes in there then its for the mouse and the keyboard, other than that, if they are just a hole they could be the left and right speaker jack plugs...

Green one looks like Audio out (For your speakers)

And the blue ones probably for a Mic.

Dont they have a little symbol above the socket?

 

[Kornowski]

Yeah, they are speaker and mic plugs, some computers have them at the front aswell!

Hey! I found this, There isn't an aswer yet, but you were trying to play your Playstation Two through your monitor, right?

Watch this thread, I'm sure the answer will come up!

ok i sorta get it now....thanks

so i can plug my red and white RCA into a 1/8 headphone adaptor to get sound through my computer from the ps2.....

now is there an adaptor to convert the yellow RCA video lead to go directly to a monitor or will i have to do this through the computer as well somehow.

 

[Kornowski]

Yeah, I guess you, that should work! It may be mono though?

There may be, I don't see why not... Go to an electrical store and just ask, It doesn't do any harm!

adaptor type: Matrox G450 multi monitor
chip type: Matrox G450
DAC type: Integrated, 360 MHz

im pretty sure the adpator isnt for the pc but for the ps2, i may be wrong.

Try seraching on google.

 

[Kornowski]

I don't know sorry, I'd ask in a store, I can't see them not doing one...

I think you may have to get something like this, I'm not too sure:

with higher end video cards it comes with composite cables that go from your vid card to the composite connectors

You will either need an adapter, which can be quite pricey, or a TV Capture Card. The internal ones, ie (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815100146R) have an RCA Video input (the yellow jack plug). You can route the Video through the tv capture card and the audio through the audio input you talk about on the back of your pc.
