I'm getting a component cable to hook my Wii to a monitor.  So, I'm going to have use the PC speakers for audio.  I'm guessing that two of the connectors of the component cable are for stereo audio.  My PC speakers have input for 3mm jack or 1/4" jack.  How do I connect the audio connectors of the component cable to a 3mm jack or 1/4" jack?  I'm guessing, there is some kind of converter device out there.  Anybody know what the device is called and where I can buy one?

Piece of cake. I've got one of these that connects my iPod to my home stereo...

You could probably pick one of these up at any Radio Shack or electronics store.

Just plug the L/R Audio cables from your component cables into this, then plug this into your speakers. You can also get ones that are long cables as well, if you don't want to plug this big-ish adapter right into your speakers.

Thanks.  Works great with my component cables that finally arrived.  Also found out that the same splitter works with composite cables, because I used it while waiting for my component cables.
