Bulky, uses up a USB port, etc.
It's the only answer to an older Cinema Display and a newer Mac. Unfortunately, it's expensive, bulky, requires use of one of my precious USB ports and yet another electric outlet. Also, when my Mac goes to sleep, neither USB port on the rear of my 23" Cinema Display works. AND, because I have a "white-light Cinema Display" (i.e. the power button has a white glowing light behind it rather than a green glowing light), the button will no longer work as a power-on button. It just sort of pulses white light when you touch it. So there's that. Still, I'm able to use my "old" (c. 2004) display with a new Intel-based Mac Mini, which means a lot to these old eyes. btw, you might think you can get one of the other "DVI to ADC" cables that come up with a search here - but take close look at the male and female ends - as far as I can tell they're really ADC to DVI, i.e., for a newer DVI display to an older ADC Mac.
Does what it says
I bought this item so I could run my Macintosh 22 inch Cinema display from my new Radeon 9800 card. Simple plug and play, and forget about it. It works.

It is a real apple product and not an off brand re-work. Works as planned and now I have a lot more area to work on my 17" MacBook Pro. I wish I would have made the purchase a long time ago.
