this is my delema. i just got a new mobo and it has the new nforce chipset. with bultin dd 5.1 it has digital out spidif and coxal. now i dont have any extra digital cabbles and dont want to put the comp in the audio rack but dont want a long run for the audio hookup. for now would a regular cabble work as a digital cabble?

    It should be 75 ohm...as long as it's a solid core coax cable it should be 75 ohm. If not you may have some performance issues but it's prolly not gonna fry anything, if that's what you mean.
