[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 785268, member: 8287"] First like the other poster stated, there is no G5 Mac Pro. There is either a Power Mac G5 or a Mac Pro with Intel Xenon CPU's. Really it makes little difference though with that monitor. I own that monitor and had to purchase the $99 converter as like you were correctly told, it also provides power for the monitor. No other adapter would power the monitor as it uses 28 VDC which was provided by the ADC connector on the older PowerMac G4's. I got mine open box for $75 and it works great. Had it for 3 years now. You might find on on Ebay at a lower price but if you do jump on it right away as they are rare and many want them (The Apple Converter Box). [/QUOTE]
