Snakeroot,

Try the following:

Component - Belkin® 3ft Component PureAV Video cable with ATI Component
Adapter DVI - Belkin® 6ft DVI-D Video Cable

Looks like they are Belkin products. On the Alienware site, you can co
configure a new system and in Step 3, these compnonents are
listed....although considering they are belkin, you can probably get them
cheaper elsewhere on the Internet. Mine are purple cables, though....
