I want to know where in PTA can I get this type of connection. for those that don't know what I'm talking about it is this connector

scroll to the bottom and you will see that DVI-I is the one with all the pins in. I want a cable/connector that is exactly like that on the DVI side.

Why I wnat to do this is cause I got a 4670 for a home theathre pc and whatd to use only HDMI cable for the sound and video
 
I got my DVI-D Dual Link adapter from Builders Express of all places (or Builders Warehouse)
Try them in your area and see if they have the DVI-I Dual Link
 
I'd try the adapter from BW or BE, and use the existing HDMI cable - if it doesn't work ask BW or BE to refund you as it's the wrong adapter - they'll give you a credit note. :)

Maybe check their refund policy first.

no it must be DVI-I for audio to work. but will check builders warehouse out.
 
I forgot to ask you if you're connecting the HTPC to an amp or straight to an HD LCD.
 
We are located in Centurion and stock Female HDMI to DVI-D Male connectors (Gold plated for superior signal transfer) - R 55.00 ex VAT, R 62.70 incl VAT. A DVI-D connector will fit on a DVI-I Female connector and will have the DVI-I source / graphics card transmit a DVI-D signal to ensure it is compatible with the HDMI display. A DVI-I connector to HDMI I am not aware about since it will not make sense since the DVI-I can only switch to a digital mode (DVI-D) when used with HDMI and not to analog DVI-A. PM me for direct website link.
