Well, today I got extremely lucky and received a MacPro 4,1, my first 64Bit EFI desktop mac with an Intel CPU :D. My other MacPro, a 1,1 was a 32Bit. Anyway, along with the Mac Pro, I got a 23" Apple Cinema Display without a power supply, bummer. A new supply is about as much as a newer, lighter (lol) monitor. I was wondering if any of the forum members had a spare power adapter. I thought I'd post here since its kinda-related to PowerPC (a 2004 monitor). The owner is searching his house for the original one, but he isn't sure where it is.

EDIT: in case I didnt make myself clear, PM me with a deal.

I assume we're speaking of the aluminum Cinema Display?

Yes, the 1st generation of it.

EDIT: I couldnt put this thread in the Marketplace anyway, it doesnt show up yet.

I have a 20 inch cinema display that came with out a PSU (and had the sense wire issue) so I Just took a 3rd party 65W iBook G4 charger lopped the end off the charger and cinema display and spliced the 2 together and has been working lovely ever since :) (both an ibook charger and a cinema display PSU are 24V) oh and if you are realy in a pinch the 24V ACD out on PowerMac PSUs will also power a aluminum cinema display of 20 inches and 23 inches (the 30 inch display requires 150W witch is too much for a PowerMac G4s ACD line)

Ha I thought about doing something like that. I unfortunately need 90W. So I'll look into some other power supply

I've saw plenty on shopgoodwill.com. Just search "Apple" in Computers & Electronics and then I believe there are several, most are still at minimum bid (either $5 or $9.99). The problem with SGW is that shipping fees are stupidly high, so you could get something for $5, but have to pay $20 in S&H fees.

That was the first place I checked, they have a 65W available http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/Apple-Cinema-Display-65W-Power-Adapter-A1096-21896786.html, but no 90W. Fortunately, a DIY adaptor really only involves splicing the original tip off.

What's the limit on the ADC line? I know that the CRT is 110W or so.

well the power limit on the 24V ACD line is 92.5W on my MDD (it says 25V 3.7A) but the ACD connector on my ATI radeon 9000 that came with said MDD says 28V 4A max so I am slightly confused LOL
 
Alright! My 'DIY' one worked and I documented how I did it. Editing in FCPX right now on the new monitor :D.
As you can see, @eyoungren isn't the only one who is monitor-crazy!
