Monitor Help

I am on the verge of switching over to the Mac universe [finally] with the Mac Mini. Anywho, a few months ago I purchased this 19 inch monitor for my PC since the other one died out. I do not wish to purchase a new monitor, so I checked out the Apple website to see if there was any hookup that would allow me to use my PC monitor on a Mac computer.

I found something, I am just not 100% sure its what I need.

Is this the adapter I need for using a PC monitor on a Mac Mini

Yup, that's exactly what you need, and best of all, it comes with the mini.

Yeah that's what I really liked reading...heh

Saves me some cash because now I need to get a USB keyboard and mouse - which shouldnt cost too much. I dont want to go with the keyboard and mouse that I can add onto my Mac Mini order [$58 more to the order], because I can find both cheaper somewhere else.

Plus a bud of mine on another site said he can probably hook me up with a keyboard.

Something like this may allow you to use your current mouse and keyboard, if you want:

Hmmm...thanks man - I'll definitely consider this if I can't get that USB keyboard from my bud. $15 cant go wrong there.
