Reguarding nvidia / hdmi question, it appears:

Leadtek PX8500 GT TDH HDMI GeForce 8500 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI
Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Low Profile Video Card - Retail

Would be a good option.  8500 will handle more than anything I would
throw at it, 3D wise.  I dunno if it'd help alot for video playback,
but meh... should have more than enough CPU for that.  And spdif pass
through is good too :).  One cable going to the TV, yay!

And...

ITS PASSIVELY COOLED!  YAY!

The Radeon HD2xxx/3xxx/4xxx cards are looking cheap, but sticking with
the suggestion to avoid them... sigh :(
