Obvious Question?
I figured this would be an easy find in search, but I couldn't locate the specifics.
Simple question really.
Can this monitor somehow work with this computer. Yes? No? With a special adapter? Just plug it in? This inquiry applies to my quota of annual stupid questions. I'm now only 12 over my limit.

adb to dvi connector it is quite expensive but do a search on that
microcenter has it but it's not on their site. runs about 100$ from them
Core Mini 1.66ghz 2048ram 320gb
DLSuperDrive Tiger uses for stupid intel stuff
12 Aluminum 1.5ghz 1280ram 250gb
SLSuperDrive Panther uses for Logic Express

Re: Obvious Question?
That makes more sense...NSX said adb.
I knew adb went out with beige computers, I thought I was losing my mind.

That monitor does not necessarily use an ADC connection, though.

The one in the picture is a normal aspect ratio which means it is either the 15" or 17" Apple Studio Display (LCD) which would use the ADC.
If he is actually looking for / at an Apple Cinema Display (Cinema aspect ratio ie wide screen)
20" & 23" both use the ADC connector ... however the 22" should have a DVI connector or an ADC (per mac tracker)

Re: Obvious Question?
DVI to ADC is not that expensive. They cost maybe $30.
