Will the 20 inch apple monitor - the ones before the aluminum - just plug into the new powermacs?

Thanks

No, the new powermacs use DVI, they may come with an adaptor, if not, you will need to get a conversion box.

That's a shame! Have to wait a while and see then. What kind of adptor do I need?

But, they are really expensive from apple!

i'd say, save the money and don't buy the adapter but buy an upgraded apple monitor which is (as of today much cheaper) only US$699. or for you: 544 EURO ; 367 Pound.
the conversion boxes i've seen were quite pricey.

you could sell the old monitor or save it as a backup, OR use it as a second display if your PM supports that

Yeah, I think they changed in the second edition of powermacs last year, because I know the very first powermac g5s they made had the adc cards.

£529 cheapest display in UK! But some good deals on sony monitors around at the moment. Maybe time to sell - maybe just get an adaptor off ebay.

Thanks for all your comments. Really helpful and quick response too.

Your link is bad. Apple store links expire very quickly.

Apple ADC-to-DVI adapters are $99.

From the original 2002 press release (when they were originally $149):

The DVI to ADC Adapter is a compact device that measures 5-inches square and features active components to boost the DVI signal to ensure its integrity for maximum image quality even when running large, high-resolution flat panels, such as the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. The adapter includes an integrated power supply, an AC power cord and a 2-meter cable with USB and DVI. The Apple flat panel display is attached directly to the ADC (Apple Display Connector) port located on the adapter.

Apple Part Number: M8661LL/B

Well i sold my present mac set-up for a good price (apple studio display 20 inch and dual 1.8 G5), got a student discount and ordered 266 Mac Pro with 23 inch monitor. Can't wait for the 18th!

Thanks for all the advice!
