What cable would be the best between a new Mac Mini and the Dell UltraSharp U2713H 27” 2560 x 1440 resolution Monitor?
The Dell has connectors for:
1 Dual Link (DVI-DL) with HDCP
1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
1 Mini DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
1 HDMI (I don't know which version)

Doesn't really matter, but a miniDP to miniDP cable is probably cheapest.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

I would definitely use either DisplayPort connection over HDMI or DVI. I purchased a MDP to DP cable by Accell on Amazon and have had great results.
