You'll need to look for a DVI to component video cable, one that matches the component input on your TV. You'd be better off connecting to an HDTV, of course, but it should be doable.

If you don't have an HDTV, you are more likely to need composite, NOT component (at least you are in Europe). If you have an HDTV a DVI to HDMI would be easiest. You'll need another cable for the audio either way.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
