Does there exist a video card that has Mini Display out and is compatible with the original Mac Pro? I had a 23" cinema display that was repaired by Apple and then manhandled by UPS (multiple times, actually). Apple is sending me a new 27" LED display. My computer is the original Mac Pro 1,1 with an nVidia 8800gt and as of right now, I have no way of connecting the two. I would like to just upgrade my video card to one with mini display. I have heard that the converters are either unreliable or don't work at all.
Got a tip for us?

The official Apple Radeon HD 5770 ($250) and 5870 ($450) cards both have MDP connectivity and do work with first-gen Mac Pros, despite what Apple says. Another potential card (harder to find because it's discontinued) would be the Apple Radeon HD 4870.
