Default Desktop with an HDMI Port

Does anyone know if there's a manufacturer that makes these? There's lots of options for laptops, but I can't find a desktop with this feature.

I know I can use a DVI/HDMI adapter, but I want to be able to run audio through my HDMI connection as well.

Reason for this is my plasma is wired in the wall down to the floor via HDMI only, and I'd like to stick with a desktop vs. going with a laptop.

memory express has a couple motherboards with HDMI and I'm pretty sure they have some video cards as well.

HDMI is really a modification to the DVI standard I believe. So the cable should work just fine.

Many of the latest video cards have models with HDMI. The newer cards will also handle 1080p processing and many of them are fine for gaming as well. I'd check the specs and do some reading before buying though.
Here's an example
