Standard PC TFT monitor with G5 Mac?
Hello.
I'm thinking of buying a dual G5 powermac, my ibook doesn't cut the mustard anymore. I've been searching around for good prices, and have found a couple places. However, they seem to all be without a monitor. This clearly keeps the price down, as the Apple displays are quite expensive.
Can you use a standard "PC" TFT monitor with the G5's?
Also, any reccommendations for cheap macs on the net?
Here's the scoop on the G5 display ports, and the monitors that can connect to them:

If a TFT monitor has a VGA jack, you're all set. "Power Mac G5 computers are shipped with a DVI-to-VGA adapter for connecting to VGA displays."
