[QUOTE="sreeves, post: 784856, member: 81247"] hi there i just purchased a mac pro G5 and did not get a screen as i thought my older G4 desktop plastic screen would work with the new G5, but its a different connection. so i need a DVI- ADC converter. now i spoke to a mac store and they said they do this for £69 (which to me is daylight robbery, especially as the guy on the phone said it would work when ordering). the guy at mac said that the old screen runs off a different power supply thingy thats why the adapter costs so much, but i found a short converter (DVI-ADC) but it does not have a power supply or anything. if i get this will my mac G4 screen work with my new G5? Cheers [/QUOTE]
