    Something like this: http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=322179

    Kompletts delivery costs are just too expensive, as is the price of the cable itself.

    Thanks

    I've ordered from them several times. They're perfectly reliable and very helpful if you have a problem. Their reviews/ratings from shopping.yahoo.com is very positive too. I'm not sure how their stuff measures up quality wise but I've never had any problems.

    dealextreme.com....should get one for about €8-10 delivered.
    Beware of the site though....it's like a giant credit card magnet. I keep compulsively buying crap I don't need from it, but it's stuff that you just mainly never see for sale anywhere else.

    Got that cable myself from them, works perfectly. Highly recommend the company, but as said, delivery takes typically 2-3 weeks

    Do these work from DVI to HDMI?
    If so where could i get a longer cable, say 3m?

    I use the above cable to connect the DVI out on my graphics card to the HDMI in on my TV.

    $13.10 delivered, for 3m cable https://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1501

    P.S. Bare in mind that HDMI is video only, so you may need other audio cables aswell.

    Presume you meant DVI is video only, HDMI carries picture and sound

    Nah, i meant HDMI, i was just plain wrong :( not up to date on all this new fangled technology.

    So i guess my warning should have been; "if you want to connect PC to TV via HDMI, check your tv has audio source select for HDMI (like mine), or sort out some external speakers"?

    Sorry if i mislead anyone.
