is the old 17" apple studio display graphite CRTs compatible with the g5? cuz i have no more money to get a flat panel display
my g5 came with that dvi to vga but i still cant connect my old blue/white 17" apple studio display graphiteCRT. one of the cords from the monitor fit into the dvi-vga connector but theres also the power outlet cord which i dunno where to plug into? when i had my g4 tower it would plug rite into the g4 but the g5 doesnt have a socket for it. i cant plug it into a outlet because it has this stupid case which wont make it fit and im sure it doesnt go into a power outlet anyway since it went into my old g4 tower. any help?
