There are a number of such adapters on the market, not too expensive but
I think the quality of the signal would not be that great. Which card do
you have inside at the moment? Does it have a working DVI port? If so,
the best way to go would be to get the DVI to HDMI adapter. However,
even then you need to think how to get the audio out. Unfortunately Cube
needs to many 'add-ons' and attachments before it can be really useful
as a media player. Not sure it is worth the effort.
