Best option for connecting DVI monitors to the nMP? Anything else we might need?

[wildmac]

So, have a pair of Dell 24" monitors that are a few years old (ok, 5 or so) that has all the standard connectors. What's the best connector for these to the nMP? Just the Apple DVI-to-MiniDisplay adapter?

And probably a few:

just in case...

Anything else?

you are fine with a displayport to dvi adapter.

why do you want a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter if the mac pro has 2 on board?

You're right, it does... someone here ranting about something got it in my head that it didn't have one.

----------

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Thunderbolt ports support the following technologies as well.

Mini DisplayPort output using a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable.
DVI output using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter.
VGA output using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter.
Dual-Link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter. This supports the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display.
HDMI audio and video output using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter.

Why on earth would you want a TB to ethernet dongle? Unless you're kidding around.

I'll have 2x TB Cinema and 1x Cinema 27" displays on my nMP, and it's annoying that I'll get three gratuitous ethernet ports with that. The two built in will be better and all anybody needs.

I just got a 11eur mini displayport -> DVI cable (3m long).
