This is the way to go. But not the way you were thinking.
You can get adaptors that can connect composite video output to a VGA
monitor. Go on Ebay and search for "composite video to vga converter".
No opening up the machine. No installing expensive video cards. No
paying large amounts of cash. Just connect your Apple's composite
output to the device and the device's VGA output to your monitor.
Nothing could be simpler.
