</blockquote><div><br>You will need a video card that goes in either the PCI or PCIe slot. You can use VGA and convert the VGA -> component via an audio authority device (around $100), or you can use DVI and get a DVI -> HDMI cable (I got one for about $10 online doing some froogle searching). I recommend the latter route, and it keeps everything digital. Note, the audio will not be transported and you will need to figure out another way to deal with audio (most likely, plugging your sound card into either your receiver or tv).
