if you are referring to this one

http://www.everymac.com/images/monitor_pictures/apple_cinema_display.jpg

then you will definitely need a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter ($29)

and depending on the ACD, you might need an DVI to ADC adapter ($99)

Fail?! No, good sir! He's stumbled upon Apple Product Roulette!

I'm bookmarking this and playing when I'm bored.

What the? The bookmark only leads to the real picture...

NOW it's fail...

The clear plastic displays are ACD, whereas the ones with the aluminum case are just good ol' DVI.

EDIT: whoops... looks like one model (http://www.designedinca.com/peripherals/displays/cinema/aug1999/22inch/) of the 22" plastic displays were DVI.
