Woah!  Slow down.  There is no purpose to buy such a high end video card.  A
myth box does not do any 3d rendering (what this is designed for)  its all
2d video.  So a 6200 will do everything you need.  Plus you can get them
fanless so you dont have to listen to that massive fan wirring.

Like this one:

Then get a  DVI to HDMI converter @ monoprice:

With shipping  that should be under $45 dollars.  Much better than $120!
