Can’t Connect Apple Cinema Displays to new DVI machines?
So I had recently purchased a new Intel Mac Mini for one of my clients. After much wait, it arrived and so I configured it and installed applications that he would need. So I bring the completed Mac Mini to his office to switch out the PowerMac G5 he currently has and use his existing Cinema Display, I run into a slight problem, the cord on the Cinema Display doesn’t fit the DVI port on the Mac Mini!
So I quickly ran to Fry’s Electronics to see if they had an ADC to DVI convertor. Nope. Searching Apple’s Store site with the assistance from my friend/co-worker, we were able to find an adapter that Apple makes: DVI to ADC Adapter. Perfect! The cost of it was $99, a bit steep but considering the cost of the 30 inch cinema display…well worth it.

I’m about to run into the same problem: use a 2 year old Mac Mini with an 17″ Apple Display. Belkin makes a DVI - ADC connector for as little as $25 which I’m hoping is the same thing.
That’s great news if it does work because $25 is a big difference compared to $100…
Good luck and let us know!
