Default TV to Media PC ~ Advice

Okay basically I have a Media PC - an E-machines ER1401 to be exact.

Currently wanting to connect this up to my TV in the living room. Main issue is my TV carries no HDMI or VGA ports.

Looking to get this connected by:

PC (VGA) >> S-Video >> to Scart (with all in one adaptor)
PC (3.5mm Jack Plug) >> to Scart (with all in one adaptor)

Question is really, would this work, in that both audio/video would be working?
Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

Products I intend to use:

Thanks in advance
JAM.

I'd get the second one only (first one looks cheap and nasty), but keep in mind you won't get much more than an average picture quality. Plug the S-video in if you have a S-video input, otherwise you will also need a video to scart adapter like the one you get when getting an xbox.

Then buy shorter cables as extensions. the first cable on your list is 3 meters and you will get a loss of picture/sound quality already. better and cheaper just to get the next shortest at 1.5 meters. If you can of course. The best option would be the s-video into a scart adapter and bob's your uncle.
