I checked on NewEgg and some of the "basic" video cards with HDMI start at around $99. Being a gamer I'd need something a bit beefier. They were around $149 for something close to what I'd use.
I'm not too worried about HDMI/HDCP to the receiver because the connection from the TV to the receiver is optical and the TV behaves as an audio switch, which is REALLY nice. No HDCP issues from my HD DVD player, and hopefully none whenever I get my PS3. Any issues from a PC can be ... er ... rectified.
Actually, that's another issue. If the HDMI port is on the video card, how are audio signals sent?
