If you found an adapter for VGA or even to DVI it would likely have separate audio lines that you could hook up to a sound bar or to PC speakers. Like This . The red and white RCA plugs would carry audio.
These are the sort of cables I was talking about it:

Just direct from the console to the monitor, nothing between.
They aren't of the highest quality, but are dead simple and cheap.
A dedicated transcoder as described by /u/syboxez would be better solution, especially if you think you'll want to possibly use other 480p+ Component sources on the monitor, but if you're just looking to use the Wii on it, the cable -should- be good enough for your purposes.
Not capable of hitting quite as high of resolution as the Garo, but I can personally recommend the Key Digital transcoders as being quality: For your situation specifically, the KD-CTCA line, for Component to RGB:

It might be the adapter then.
You could try a Wii VGA cable: https://www.amazon.com/TNP-Wii-PS3-VGA-Cable-PlayStation/dp/B01JOBW12K/.

I used one of these for a while. It doesn't list PS2, but it works as well.
Have a couple nice consumer CRT TV sets, but decided to pick up a free CRT computer monitor today (MAG 771FS-s, had never heard of it) and try out 480p Melee if possible.
I already have component cables for my Wii, but would one of these work well with the monitor?
