The hardware has to be able to do the mode before the software can
turn it on.

Then you need a spare slot, or some sort of spare hole in the case
somewhere, and this will vary from case to case.  Need to figure out
how long to make the mini-coax so it will reach even in a large case.
I have a "midi tower" (not really that big) and some of the cables don't
reach.  And need to have a variety of panel fillers (slot, 3.5" disk bay,
5.25" disk bay, etc.).

Hopefully the DVI will turn out to be good enough.  I like coax as much
as the next guy, but I assume that whatever chip the signals come out
of doesn't have a coax connector on the side.
