Just a word of warning on HDMI cables and insufficent strain relief when you choosing yours. The short answer is "Longer is better" in backshells. I've heard the complaints on the weakness of the HDMI connector but I had something a little diffent happen with my RAM cable that's buried in my wall.

Since the HDMI cable is pretty stiff any bending motion is transmitted to the backshell of the connector. I moved mine about a dozen times from my cable box to reciever and moved the units around. The backshell (The plastic HDMI cover) on the RAM cable does not prevent the bending of the cable force from reaching the little circuit board inside. Thus when I cut it open I found that all the wires had broken free from the circuit board. Given that this cable was buried in my wall the replacement will not be easy or cheap. I just wanted everyone to think about this feature when you're looking.
