How do you hook a PC to an old HDTV?

I'm looking to hook my old retired gaming pc up to my 60" RCA TV, but it's an older TV. The inputs it has are S-Video, RCA, and Component (RGB). My Alienware Aurora R2 has ouputs for DVI, VGA, and HDMI. I am looking for the cheapest way to hook the pc up to the TV, I bought a Monoprice VGA to S-Video converter on Amazon, but it didn't display right and it was black and white. Anyone have any advice for this matter other than buy a new tv with HDMI lol.
