These cables can be outrageously expensive. This seems a good deal from a reputable store. I may do this myself even though I already have that cable (for my homebuilt HTPC to the HDTV).
Be aware these cables do NOT carry sound so you'll need alt sound in/outs to either device.

#3 Yeah you can but remember that most HDTVs native resolution will be 1366x768. Finding a similar one from the computer might distort picture slightly depending on the characteristics of your TV.

I'm not paying any amount of money for Male on Male action. #1, where did you see prices for small asian females? All the ones I've found are pretty spendy.

It's a DIGITAL cable. As long as the cable meets basic DVI electrical requirements, the equipment you connect it to is also up to par, and you aren't pushing the specs (running >5 meters), a $5 cable will do exactly the same job as a $100 one.
Best Buy and their ilk make most of their profit by convincing customers to buy unnecessary and/or ridiculously priced accessories.

whats the diff between gold plated and ferrite cores?

Ferrite cores are actually on the outside of the cable (those nuggest that you find at the ends of the calbes sometimes). It's called a choke. A choke makes a BAD antenna... which is how you DON'T want your video cables acting, soaking up a whole buncha noise from interferance.
Gold plated just helps with conduction & resists corrosion.
