 Although I'm not trying to use my machine as an HTPC, I do have some HD content that I'd occasionally like to watch on my HDTV. It looks great on my 18" monitor, but I want to take advantage of my big screen.

My current video card (nVida GeForce FX 5700LE) has two outputs, analog and DVI, both of which are being used. I'm not adverse to removing the DVI connection - I can use that to connect to HDMI, correct? Or will I need a new video card - and if so, is there a cheap one I can use in tandem with the one I've already got? What kind of cable am I going to need?

Thanks in advance
