Wow! I have just realized how large these fees are!
Essentially it costs $45 in JUST bank wire fees in order to deposit money to Bitstamp from my US bank account.

In any case, does anybody know the fees in the reverse direction? If I ask mt. gox to send me a bank wire for $1000, can anybody give me a rough estimate of how many USD I will actually receive?
Thanks.
MTGOX charges 2000 yen or roughly USD$20 for sending.
Then your bank will charge a fee for receiving as well. Should roughly you should get back around $950-$960.
