power proximity to HDMI/Components cables?

I was thinking about running a flat conduit up my wall to my projector, but started thinking about running my power in close proximity to my HDMI/Components cables. Will it cause issues with magnetic interference with my video?

Any ideas how I can shield the video cables that are in close proximity to power (say within 3")?

provided they are decent quality I would anticipate no issues. A good Component cable should be RG6 cabling and quad shielded. That's plenty. People make too much of an issue of running cables close together.
 
Component not much of an issue unless you are near serious high voltage, like 3 phase.
HDMI the biggest concern is length, try to keep it as short as possible.



 
Both are going to be around 25feet.... looking on ebay, I'm trying to find the thickest cables I can find. Most say they are triple shielded, but who knows when buying a cable off ebay.

Here is what I'm looking at for my HDMI to DVI (projector has DVI with HDCP):

Here is the component to DB15:

What you guys think?
