I am looking to do a simple build computer. For a cofrence room and we want to connect a PC to a 55 flat panel TV. I though HDMI would be the best since it has sound and video. Any suggestion for a graphics card that will do both but not crazy expenise as this will be used for pretty basic things.

Try a board based on AMD 690G, it has integraded HDMI.

This one is nice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131174

with an X2 3600 or 3800 you should be fine

I am going to be doing a 30Ft run i think with HDMI From PC to TV. What do i need to look for as far as cables, types, pins? Looked on ebay and some low prices but i dont know if any are good.

I see DVI but not HDMI on this board???

The HDMI version comes with a bundled PCIe card extension for the board. There you will find the HDMI connection.

If you are looking for reasonably priced computer or A/V cables try Monoprice.com Paying $6.50 for a 10' HDMI cable beats the hell out of paying $100+ for a Monster Cable that does the exact same thing. NO I DO NOT WORK FOR THEM. I found the site on a Home Theater forum and their $6.50 cable works very nicely with my Oppo upconverting DVD player. They have 35' HDMI cables for less than $40.

Another route you could take is to use an HDMI-DVI cable. Monoprice also has HDMI->DVI cables for essentially the same prices as all of their HDMI cables. I have one of those as well and it works like a charm for hooking my tower (see sig) to my Sony HDTV. This would allow you to use any motherboard/graphics card that has DVI, but you'd have to run a separate audio cable. I haven't checked but I'd be willing to bet that you could get whatever audio cable(s) you needed from Monoprice as well.

That sounds kind of inelegant. Why not try MSI K9AGM2-FIH which has the HDMI port built in? No DVI out though, just the VGA 15-pin D-Sub. Not sure if this is important to onedeviantd.

Should be fine though I never had an MSI board so I don't want to reccomend something that I've never used, I gave the Asus as an example for the one I know out of the 690G-HDNI boards.

A nice looking board is (though I couldn't find it on newegg) Gigabyte (also no DVI - you'll have to decide if you need it anyway...)
