Hey guys,
I just got a Dell Crystal display (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=223-5647). It is an absolutely GORGEOUS display, only problem is its only input is HDMI. I want to connect my MBP to it and have audio on the Dell's built-in speakers. So I need a device that takes audio (RCA or 2.5mm headphone) & DVI output from the MBP and converts it to HDMI for the Dell.

A quick google search landed me with this little gem:

Needless to say, I dont really want to spend $300 for this device. So, anyone know what else I could do or another (preferably much) less expensive converter? Anyone else had to do this?
