Hey guys, I want to buy a 3450 for my HP Slimline HTPC. I need component connections for the time being. Most of the 3450 cards come with a TV port - the 9-pin round connector that looks like S-Video. But, none of the cards seem to come with the component out cable, at least the ones I'm looking at with a fan. Do you know if the cables are specific to the 3000-series cards like the DVI-to-HDMI adpater is? Or should any old HDTV-component out cable work from another video card?

Thanks!
Aaron

Can you post a link for the card you are looking at? Most of the ATI oem cards use the same component out cable.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about:

HIS from newegg

or the

Diamond from Amazon

I kinda figured a component out cable is a component out cable, but I want to make sure, first. I've tried emailing each company several times to ask about the availability, but have not gotten a response from either.
