Epox and MSI issues (supposedly some MSI boards have the capacitor in pretty much the same place as the Epox) aside, I've noticed a lot of people are posting where to find DVI->VGA converters for cheap.
I found one today at Micro Center, QVS brand, "VGA to DVI Flat Panel Display Video Adaptor HD15F/DVI-M" Model No. CF15D-FMA, SKU 958512 - $11.99. MC has a 30-day return policy on pretty much all types of hardware, so if this doesn't work - you can restaple the package and bring it back. Just reconnoitering. I don't see why these wouldn't work from a DVI->VGA use. If anyone knows better - please post otherwise.
