Yes, this will work perfectly. By the way, I did that several times the 
other way around, to hook a PC-Monitor to a Vintage-Mac. If, with these 
boxes, I have to replace a monitor, I always look for one with a 
connector at the monitor's side. I still have a few cables with a 
VGA-Connector at the one end and a DB-15 Connector at the other end.
