High ho, Quicksilver!

get a nice big DVI display and toss that ADC trash.
Not all of us can afford to just throw money at the problem you know. Besides:
There is a reason I do not have LCDs for all of my systems, but I do have a decent LCD for my primary system. It is just that with this I get high compatibility with past and future cards(DVI/VGA supports more of my systems out of the box without extra hardware that costs half of what I payed for the display). It is also newer so the backlight still has plenty of life left.(not an important factor for future consideration if you get one with an LED backlight)
A DR Bott DVIator
is a DVI to ADC converter and power supply 8-)
Considering that you picked that and the display up for free(I am assuming?) It is understandable that you want to make use of it. After all, the only issue with that display really, is the ADC port and you have that rectified.*shrug*

Most people do not have DVIators. But then I guess most Mac users never upgrade their hardware either(aside from RAM) and still use their ADC equipped graphics cards in their G4s.

 
Okay, this is getting silly
I just went to the tip to offload a dozen crappy CRTs, and on the back of the pallet was:

A Quicksilver 733

A 23" Apple Cinema Display

A DR Bott DVIator

A polite word to the trashman, and away

:rambo: }:) :lol: 8-o 8-)

Testing to follow

Dude. My primary system cost me $27. What part of "I don't have the money" do you not get? 90% of the people on this planet don't have the money.

 
Good question. Dunno right now - maybe I'll sell it or pass it on to a friend.

Cinema Display works - I'm using it now. There's one column of stuck pixels (ie a 1 pixel wide vertical yellow stripe) about one fifth of the way in from the left side.

I bet that's why the whole system got turfed :lol:
