I have a second hand Power Mac G5 that I bought last year, but have yet to use. (Model # A 1047) It was originally bought about 18 months previous to my purchase, but was barely used. It did not come with a screen. I have been kinda broke and have yet to afford a screen. As ithappens, a flat screen for a PC has come into my possession. It is Princeton brand Model VL 1715.

Is there an adapter I can use to hook these two together?

I am kind of a hardware novice. I am currently using an iMac G3, with the flat screen on the swivel neck...

Yes. You'll need to use the DVI (white) to VGA (blue) adapter that came with the PowerMac to plug it in.

AHA! This is the problem with buying used... they only gave me the G5, the keyboard & the mouse... oh well... the Apple Store in NYC is only 15 blocks away...

Thank you for the advice...
