Congrats.

And according to Apple's site, all of the graphics cards shipping with the G5 have an ADC and a DVI connection, but a DVI-to-VGA adapter is included so you're good to go.

Congrats! That's EXCTLY the machine I configged, playing around on the Apple store this morning. Unlike you, my credit card stayed in my pocket, though.

My trusty old Cube is on the fritz, and if it can't be fixed (I'd sorely like to wring another year or two out of the thing) I'll probably snap one of those dual 2.0 refurbs up the next time they pop up on the Special Deals page.

Enjoy, and don't hesitate to ask here for help. Lotsa knowledgeable folks hang out on these forums.
