Want to hook a VGA port on a computer to a HDMI connection on a
monitor. Reason being this is just temporary until I upgrade the
computer, and need to run this cable through the wall. So I figured I
could purchase a cheap adapter that would allow the HDMI connection to
plug into the video card VGA port.
I see all these cheap adapters on eBay allowing VGA to DVI ($1), but
the VGA to HDMI adapters are larger units which are a couple $100
dollars. I thought DVI and HDMI was similar, what am I missing.

On DVI-I, there is RGBHV, suitable for easy and
cheap dongle adapters. (See pin 8, and pins
C1 through C5.) Only DVI-I has analog. DVI-D
doesn't have the analog pins.

As I understand it, the DVI --> VGA adapters don't do all the work
themselves, they need a card capable of outputting in VGA format over
the DVI port.
HDMI ports may not have that same circuitry available. Odds are DVI
ports won't either for too much longer.
HDMI includes the audio signal, for one reason, which VGA does not.
