Do I Need an Apple Adapter for 17" ACD?

Adapter from Apple runs $100 in the US, and as the case with everything in UK, it'll cost you more than the price after currency conversion, probably between 50 and 100 pounds.
Note there 2 adapters:
ADC -> DVI (inexpensive, small piece similar to DVI to VGA, but NOT what you need for the display)
DVI -> ADC (comes with a power unit, this is what you want)

Just one question because of the low price--- is that an adapter WITH a power source as consultant mentioned above that you need? With that low price it seems like it would be just the non-powered adapter cable that will not work with hooking an ADC monitor to a DVI graphic card. The cheaper not powered adapter cables are only meant for hooking up a DVI monitor to a ADC graphic card since DVI monitors have their own power cords which an ADC monitor does not (gets its power through the ADC connector).
