well this is a little more interesting. If you have on-board graphics and a Yellow (composite) video out you should be able to hook up a TV and treat it like a low resolution monitor. This would depend entirely on the graphics card and driver you have.

hmmmm... I wish I would have done the research first!

1) Many motherboards have a composite NTSC output, the yellow RCA jack. The screen can be redirected to this output in the display setup page or it may need a special driver that came with the motherboard.

I went to the display settings (windows xp) and can't find the setting to redirect output to the yellow RCA jack. How do I do it?

How do I redirect the output with a linux box?

How would I do this with Windows 7/8?

do they have a device that converts from a monitor cable to an rg6 cable? if so, what is it called and where can I get it?
