Is it possible/expensive to convert VGA output directly to HDTV-usable DVI?

If so what products are good for this? Im using composite now, but im thinking about buying a HDTV so i wanna think about this or find a HDTV with vga input.

Thanks

I'm using a GForce 5600 video card with DVI out which has an adapter converting DVI to VGA (was included with card). From this dvi output I run a 30ft cable to my Pioneer plasma box which has a VGA input. This allows me to run the plasma as a clone or second monitor. btv and dvd output to the plasma is perfect picture quality
The only propbem i had was learning to use all the functionalliyt of the GForce 5600.

actually i want to do the reverse.
Vga -> cabling -> DVI -> TV

well, if i get a radeon 9600 with DVI out will it connect directly to the HDTV dvi port with a standard cable?

I have a graphics card with DVI out. ... but my TV does not have a DVI input. Is there an adapter or a way to go from DVI to TV?
