I have the latest Mac Mini 1.83 Duo Core Intel and would like to use the new 30 inch display from Mac. There ad says it wont work. Anyone have anmore info?
Never say Never!

I don't think there's anything realistic you can do. That display requires DVI-Dual Link, which the Mini just doesn't have. Not to mention that the max resolution of the Mini is substantially lower than the 30" ACD native resolution. I don't think you can drive Dell's 30"-er either.

Erm...beats me! Explain to the gift-giver why you cannot use it and return/exchange it? Get a computer that can use it (a MacBook Pro is probably the cheapest Mac option).

Send it to me for a full refund.

Note,
this process may take up to 50 years payable after that time by me in sums of $0.50 a year. thank you.

Nice offer but it wouldnt be right.
Maybe replace my windows machine with a Big Mac?

That's exactly what I would do! I'd get an entry level MacPro, you couldn't be happier!
