Probably Tempest for Eliza: http://www.erikyyy.de/tempest/ There's yet another similar project that I would like to track down that was using a VGA card. I wrote a fm transmitter using the vga output and called it Tempest for MP3 FM. I packages it together with the am transmitter from tempe

Someone proposed this a while ago, but Fabrice Bellard (who is also responsible for cool stuff like the tcc compiler, which lets you use C as a scripting language and lets the Linux kernel compile itself at boot time) has used a VGA card's DAC as an RF modulator to produce a valid DVB-T signal. He
