Well, it's easy to change it from BTC into USD via a trade, but is it the best route to go as far as withdrawing that USD into one's bank account?
Right now, I'm mining 50/50. I keep 50%, and use 50% to help pay for the hardware I purchased. It's working well so far withdrawing through Virwox/SL, but I'm all for an easier/cheaper solution. Going the Virwox/SL route, I end up paying about 5% in fees on average. Of course, it's not exact since I go through another exchange, which may be under or overvalued compared to MtGox, but it does the trick.
Going the MtGox route though, all I see are two fees: The 0.65% fee for making a trade from BTC to USD, and the $0.25 fee from dwolla to receive money into my account. Are there any other fees I am not considering?

Nope.. that's it.

There's also the (semi-optional) 0.01 bitcoin transaction fee to factor into your calculations. However, the real advantage of dwolla is that you get to talk to friends about bitcoins and dwolla and sound like you're a huge nerd with a speech impediment who can't pronounce "dollar." Try saying "I changed my bitcoins into dwolla dwolla bills y'all" without sounding like you're a speech-impaired gangster nerd from Brooklyn. It's all about the dwollas, yo.

Well, that is the 64000$ question.
I'm in NZ... how do I get bitcoins into $NZD? Or any currency.
I'm in NZ, all my clients are in the EU - at the moment, I take cash out of an ATM using a UK card... and there are costs associated with that. Right now it costs 0 to transfer bitcoins around the world. It'd be worth a lot to know a fast, reliable way of getting them into local currencies without massive fees.

I'm in NZ too. I sell them on MtGox then withdraw into Liberty Reserve, then exchange into NZD in my bank account with webmoney.co.nz which is an e-currency exchanger service. There's probably a better/cheaper way to do it though.

I'm in NZ too. And yes, the chain is MTGOX -> Liberty Reserve -> Webmoney.co.nz
I think the webmoney minimum fee is quite step ($10NZD) since a domestic bank transfer only costs $0.35 cents.

Mtgox has an AUD bank account now. Maybe that helps you NZ guys?

I remember reading that MT Gox was working on enabling direct deposits to and from US bank accounts. Is that still going to happen or was I mistaken?

I suspect that Dwolla usurped the need for that. Once you set it up, it's no slower than MtGox would be able to do directly. Not to mention, $0.25 each way is pretty cheap.

Nothing else. I'm quite pleased with the MtGox->Dwolla->Bank Account transfer. It take a few days to get Dwolla all setup, but once that's done, then the conversion from BTC all the way to USD is quite easy and quick. Now that the Dwolla fee is only $.25, the .65% MtGox fee is looking enormous.
