    if you're getting a HD time warner cable box all you need is a dvi to hdmi cable. the hdmi would be on the hd time warner cable box or you could use the component connections. i don't think the lcd monitor you have has component output/input. post the model of that dell lcd monitor which is helpful for others to assist you.
