Thanks for the comments & HIYA, ~Coxy! ;D

I've found a couple of very interesting gizmos if a pure cable based solution isn't practical. :b&w:

VGA to HDMI Analog/Digital Video Converter, Also for SVGA, SXGA

Component Video + Audio to HDMI Converter, 1080p Compatible

I could very well be wrong . . .but getting the sound into the HDMI connection seems to me to be the Achilles' heel of this project. :?:
