Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
DVI->HDMI wouldn't be the same, because in cases of DV->HDMI it's digital to digital. HDMI is based on DVI so this makes sense. Compenent is not digital so unless the cable has a dongle attached to it and is digitizing analog video on the fly, the HDMI cable will be seperate from component. Is seems likely that there is digital video output in the 360 that isn't being used by the current cable. Microsoft has stated that in the future they would offer HDMI, so this cable is not a total suprise.

I'm totally guessing here, but I would guess that the HDCP portion of the puzzle is handled in the HD-DVD player add-on itself, with the licensing hardware there. For this reason, I don't see the player coming in less than $250.
