As the title suggests, I am trying to hook up my late 2007 MacBook with a mini DVI port to a apple Cinema Display with a ADC port. I am confused however, on why the connectors are so expensive? Why is there a need for a power source? The monitor already has a plug, wires to connect to usb and FireWire. I just need to convert adc to dvi
Got a tip for us?

The ADC screens only have one plug, that sigular plug takes power, video, and USB data between the two devices. The screen itself does not have a power supply and needs one either from a G4/G5 or an ADC adapter. The adapters are expensive because not a lot were made and they required a rather large amount of material to produce.
