I accidently ordered an unpowered ADC ATI 9600Pro Card from OWC. I have an ADC Apple cinema
display. Any cheap workarounds outside of returning the card?

I guess you could use a $30 ADC->DVI plug adapter to strip out DVI, and a $100 DVI->ADC adapter with power supply to run that display. But that's just a last resort.

Thanks tooki: Dr Bott has just such an adapter. I probably will just turn around the card and
uprade to a powered version though
