Funny, as "3 monitors, 1 Mac" is the title of my upcoming indecent movie.

In answer to your question, you can get hook 3 monitors up by running one in HDMI, and the other 2 through the Thunderbolt ports. I believe the Apple Cinema Displays used DVI, so if you get two DVI to MiniDisplay converters, that'll be two displays.

For the remaining one, you can get a DVI>HDMI converter, and that'll be three.

Of course if they're using something other than DVI, get the other appropriate converters.

I'm assuming you have the latest Mac Mini. If you don't, please advise which model it is and I can suggest something else.

Okay, looks like you've got a MiniDVI to the left of your HDMI port, so you'll need a MiniDVI > DVI converter.

The HDMI and the MiniDisplay converter will continue to work fine for the other two ports.
