adapter for mac mini to cinema display?

[astroboyb9]

Hi All,
I couldn't find the answer to this specific problem in the forum so I would like to know if anyone can recommend an adapter that will allow me to use my 20" apple cinema display with a 2011 mac mini I just bought. I'm not really familiar with thunderbolt, but I assume I need something along the lines of a thunderbolt to dvi connector?
any and all help appreciated.
thanks
john

You'd use <shudder> the HDMI-to-DVI adapter it came with.

Or you'd buy one of the umpteen mDP to DVI cables/adapters available on Amazon and use that. But you wouldn't buy anything Thunderbolt.

Thanks for the advice posguy... I’ll stay away from thunderbolt. And look for an mdp to dvi to fit.
