VGA monitor for VGI Mac Mini help

[limaoscarlima]

I've given my old Mac Mini to my mother sans monitor, so I need to get an inexpensive one for her to be able to use it (obviously this rules out any monitor made by Apple). Almost every computer monitor out there seems to have VGA connectivity, whereas my Mini has VGI-I. Does an adapter for this issue exist?

you simply need one of those if you have a later mini with intel processor

its called a mini dvi to vga adaptor and sold by apple

or one of those if you got a ppc g4 mini

its called a mini vga to vga adaptor and sold by apple

just forgot there is a third mini version , the earlier intel minis shipped with normal dvi port for these you need
this adaptor called dvi to vga

they are all sold by apple , but you can also find them at ebay

buy a few extra cables while you are there -- USB 2 cables are $1, great quality.

oh, and FWIW a lot of new monitors have DVI not VGA
