I think what you need is something like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
" This cable has a VGA connector on one end and both RCA Jack Video (TV) Out and S-Video Out connectors on the other end
Please, check your PC & Video Card manual or manufacturer to make sure that your VGA card has TV-Out function capability through the VGA connector to ensure this cable will work for you! "

Not sure about video (I'm using s-vid and DVI-HDMI), but for audio you can buy a male 3.5 mm headphone to red/white RCA composite cable. just plug the headphone end into the headphone jack on your computer and the other ends into the corresponding red/white inputs on your TV. These cables cost likes $5 and under aat any electronics store.
It will also let you play music from an iPod or other mp3 player over a stereo (no need to buy a $75 iPod dock with crappy speakers).
