Ok..so I did a little digging...I guess it all depends if it's DVI-I or DVI-A.

(Is VGA to Component possible?)

Probably it won't work. Vga to dvi is possible, because there are two kinds of dvi signal (DVI-I, which has both analog and digital output, and DVI-A which has only the analog output.). So if you hook in the vga->dvi cable, the signal will analog on the dvi-end of the cable. Since hdmi is digital, it doesn't support analog signals. But there are signal converters that can convert digital to analog rgb, but they cost like 300$ at least.
I don't think you'll see too many DVI-A these days...most newer video cards would be DVI-I (digital & analog) so a proper DVI->VGA adapter would work. All onboard DVI, AFAIK, are DVI-D so it'll only do DVI/HDMI.

I haven't tried it myself, but would think VGA to DVI is sort of like cheating yourself because afterall, it is an analog feed to start with...probably still better than component/S-video/composite from a computer though.
