You would need a DVI/HDMI to VGA/RCA converter, which costs about 100$. Something like this:

Is this available at ebay usually?
Wat should I search for? Is RCA or VGA output not an option for the fit in the future?

Yes, the photo I posted was exactly from eBay. Here is the sale:

NEW PS3 DVI-D/HDMI to RGB RCA Component Video Converter
I just bought it for me as well. But I cannot guarantee it will work since I did not receive it yet. If you want to be absolutely sure it will work for you, then you might want to wait till I get it myself and post here.
About the future options, post in Wish list forum.

I got this adapter a week ago, but only had the time to try it today. Apparently the RCA connector is not "composite" but RGB so it will only work with TV that supports RGB input (see the blue-green-red plugs on the picture I provided above). However when I connect it to VGA monitor, it works very good and the picture quality is excellent. So if you want to connect it to RGB input or VGA input, I can recommend it.

I have Raymarine C120W with composite video input on my boat, and I'm considering buying FitPC for Internet use. As I would not like to install qanother monitor due to lack of suitable place, is there any way of connecting these two together (HDMI>composite) ??

I did quite a research and unfortunately converting HDMI -> RCA (DVi-D -> composite to be exact) is not possible. At least not in any economical way.
So CompuLab guys: make Fit-PC3 with DVI-I + 2GB RAM please.

I would like to update you, it's possible with HDFury.
HDFury would convert HDMI to VGA, and they also sell VGA to composite adapters.

@yogev_ezra
Thank you. I didn't know about that one and it certainly seems to do the job.
Still, spending 200$ for HDFury + ca 50$ for VGA to composite adapter, looks like a cumbersome solution when your basic computer costs 300$. The convestion gear would also be simply bigger than fit-pc itself eliminating advantages of tiny form factor.
So thanks again but I'll rather hopefully wait for fit-pc3
