Re: HDMI to DVI converter

I've used a cable adapter in the past but the inputs on my latest monitor are nearer the base of the case so there's barely enough space to slot the HDMI cable into the adapter.

For a couple of quid extra, I bought this boxy-looking thing (available from several online retailers but this was the cheapest when I looked) which doesn't need the extra vertical clearance so fits much better.

Why buy an adapter when you can just buy a lead?

They do come in other lengths.
