Connecting a computer to a TV through a receiver?

Thinking a bit into the future, but I'd like to pick up a new receiver for the basement and just run an HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV and connect my PS2, Wii, HD Box, etc into the receiver. But I'd also like to pick up a Mac Mini and run it through the TV too. I know they make DVI to HDMI cables. Would it be that easy or am I just asking for trouble?

It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

True, but unhooking up the mac is pretty easy too.....

I hope FIOS will be enough info-tainment anyways...
