I happened across a pair of 23" ADC Cinema displays for a rather low price. I snatched up both hoping to use one with my 12" PB (w/ the ADC->DVI adapter) and a future G4/G5. However it turns out my 12" PB doesn't have the mini-DVI plug, rather some min-VGA one....oh well.

So now I'd rather hook both of them up to a dedicated desktop and not fuss about with the mess of two ADC->DVI adpaters (not to mention the added price). What's the solution and what do I buy?

I apologize for the cross post.

AFAIK, the only solution is the $90 Apple adapter/power supply; one for each display.
