Converting to VGA question at DVinfo.net

Hi,

I need to connect my Matrox Mini to a projector via a VGA input. The Matrox Mini does not of course have a VGA output. I'm wondering what is best to use: a) will a straightforward cable work: VGA to Component Video Cable 10m Only 12.51 at TVCables (from research I'm assuming not) or b) do I need a component to VGA converter like this:

Component To VGA Converter For PS2 Wii Xbox 360 1080P | eBay
Finally c) would using the HDMI output work better with an HDMI to VGA converter:

HDMI To Component VGA L/R YPbPr SPDIF Converter Adapter | eBay

Mainly it will be for SD video but could be for HD, thanks, Geoff
