What is the best VGA adapter for Dreamcast?

I've heard so much good about this, and I am going to college this year, and would like to hook the DC to my monitor. Please help, I need to know which ones or one VGA adapter will do the job. Money isn't a big issue

Thanks, just picked one up from EBWORLD, didn't see one at Amazon. Which one is the best? Dunno.. I guess I subscribe to the bits are bits theory...

check your local ebworld and game shops at malls, the best one is the grey one, it's long and rectangular.. you can adjust the volume and has two different plugs for speaker output

visual quality wise, they are all about teh same.. it's much bteter than the tv anyways!

I have the official Sega one, and it's quite awesome. You can't plug your monitor into the DC and the computer at the same time with it, but I don't want to have the computer's signal running through the VGA box anyway. I also prefer to go with the Sega brand name, since it is for a Sega Dreamcast.

I have the Performance VGA Box. It allows you to change from your computer to your DC with just a switch, so you don't have to change the cables out each time you want to play your DC.

I don't think running your computer signal through it degrades the video quality any, or not any that I can tell through the multiple comp games I've played since having it hooked up.

I got it used at a Gamespot store in the mall for $14.95.

I think any model is gonna do you fine, I just chose this for less hassle.
