If you're going from the video card, you realize that it will only transfer video right? You'll need to also run a 100 foot audio cable if you want to hear what you're watching.

(I know HDMI is natively video + audio, but not when you run it straight from a PC video card it isn't.)
Not true either. Most of the later video cards from ATI have a DVI to HDMI connector that will send audio. I now see the same thing from NVidia. If you look hard you can find video cards with an HDMI out, no adaptor needed.

Heres one with an adapter
