hi
I recently got a pair of apple studio displays 15' lcds
one of them has the standard vga connector that we all know
but the other has a wider VGA connector - I think it's old style Apple VGA
how can I attach this to a standard VGA video card?

There were two different designs that used the name Apple Studio Display. Which kind?
This:
or this:
(And I'm betting it's an ADC connector - don't think you can use that with a VGA card.)

it's the first one you have pictured - but an older one with a multicoloured apple logo
I'm reckoning it's an old version of VGA

Probably a DB-15 connector, then, if it's that old. You might be able to find an adaptor for that.

yes that's the one. anyone have any idea where to get that adaptor?
also -I have two of these screens. The other one has a normal vga connector but has an intermitent problem. It keeps loosing the picture and going all strange colours across the screen, I have to shake the screen a bit to get the picture back.....is that a fualt with the screen or a loose connection inside it?

If shaking works, it pretty much has to be a loose connection or part somewhere. Solid state components ignore shaking.

Cables To Go might have what you need, but a quick search for the right adapter didn't pull anything up. Back when that was made, not too many people were buying Apple monitors to put on their PCs, so adaptors may be hard to come by.
As for a power supply, I'd start with eBay. The monitor was released 10 years ago - parts for it are probably rather rare.

The one good thing about eBay is that you can get parts for outdated devices at a very low cost.
