[QUOTE="davemanster, post: 835206, member: 97751"] Sorry about not being absolutely clear. dtravis7 is correct in assuming I mean a brand new mac mini from apple.com. It's the cheapest I have found it with my educational discount. Thank you very much for your answers thus far. However, still no word on the DVI question? Upon doing some research on it I found this on Wikipedia: [I]Apple's Mini-DVI to DVI-D cable does not carry the analog signal coming from the mini-DVI port on the Apple computer. This means that instead of buying a single mini-DVI cable from Apple and using a cheap DVI-to-VGA adaptor when you need VGA output, you must purchase a mini-DVI to VGA cable from Apple. This could be solved if Apple provided a mini-DVI to DVI-I cable. The purpose of DVI-I is to ensure universal compatibility.[/I] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DVI]Mini-DVI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] However, I just called the apple store (1-800-MY-APPLE) and he advised me that the setup I want to have should work perfectly. I am unsure if I should listen to the vendor who should know but wants to make a sale, or Wikipedia that isn't interested in a sale but isn't the vendor. Does anyone have a Mac mini and can try this?
