Hi Scott, To make things even more confusing, Apple changed the DVI port on the Mac Mini to a Mini-DVI port on their new March 3, 2009 release. However, since James joined this list in February, I'm fairly sure that the connector link I've given him is correct. I guess that new Mac Mini users with the March 2009 and later machines might need to use the "Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter":
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A Once again, for James (and owners of older Intel Mac Minis without a monitor connected), I believe the part they need is the "Apple DVI to Video Adapter": http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A Note that the part number is different: M9267G/A is the number for the older DVI to Video Adapter connector for use by all earlier Intel minis in place of an actual monitor connection. We don't know that this works for the new Mac Minis made after March 3, 2009, but the guess is that they use the M9319G/A Mini-DVI to Video Adapter to avoid the slow down problems.
