mini-DVI to LED Cinema display?

[Loa]

Hello,

This is but loosely related to my Mac Pro, but I have trouble getting definite answers in other parts of this forum.

I have a 24inch LED Cinema display with my Mac Pro and I love it. Only problem: its mini displayport connector doesn't speak with my MacBook's mini-DVI plug.

Can I use simple connectors / adapters to make the connection? Like this:

Mini-DVI male to DVI female (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041912&p_id=4851&seq=1&format=2)

mini Displayport coupler (female to female) (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042804&p_id=6502&seq=1&format=2)
+
Apple LED Display (with mini Displayport connector)


Or am I forced to shell out 150$ on a full fledged converter?

Thanks

Loa

As far as I know, you need at least this:

plus the miniDVI to DVI adapter.
