Quick question about the HDMI to DVI converter, Does it work the other way around? I know some PS3 users uses this to connect PS3 to PC monitor, thing is I planning on using it to connect my PC to HDTV through HDMI, problem is the graphic card only has DVI output. I know I can use VGA, but I don't want that.

HDMI - DVI is mainly to connect PS3 to PC monitor and not for HDTV. You have use HDMI cable if you want to connect your PS3 to HDTV.. Or, you could go to this thread.. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1325066or the PS3 TV discussion - http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1360005Hope this helps..

I think it can be done, since your just converting one end of the cable anyways. You wont have any sound output though since your source is DVI..
