Do you mean an s-video port, a small round port, similar to an old-style mouse/keyboard port?

You might be better upgrading to HDMI cables, if possible.

Isn't S connector just for video signal and you would need 2 x phono connectors for your audio. Seems a bit out of date.

 

Just a thought.

Your new computer will have a HDMI socket, and you can buy HDMI to S-Video converters at around £20.00, though the sound will still have to be fed seperatly. don't know if this helps

Sorry no "S" connectors phased out on new computers mid 2005 in favour of HDMI And later Display ports.

Not tried this myself but you probably want to go somewhere like maplins or maybe a specialist computer shop (NOT PC WORLD) and get some sort of gizmo / port convertor

 

or amazon sell VGA to S-Video / RCA Adaptor

 

although its probably a bit outmoded, particularly as you only have 70 days until the digital switch over when most video recorders etc will become obselete

Just buy a pc without an S-video output, and buy an expansion card which has the s-video output.
