Q: 27" Cinema Display and new Mac compatibility?
Hello! I intend to treat myself to a new desktop system this coming holiday. I have a beautiful and still working 27" cinema display with the 9x9 pin connector, usb, firewire and oval cable combo retained from a dead and decommissioned G5. I hate to scrap it if it is compatible still with any of the newest macs -- like the Mini for instance. I had thought to get an iMac, but may also get a mini too -- if I can use the keyboard and display I already have.
Serial number is: 2A62411RUFZ, I am guessing it's about a 2007-2009 model, not certain.
Please let me know if it is worth trying to save and if so, what it needs to keep on living happily with a new system. I hate to trash a working unit until it is truly dead because I care about the planet.
Thanks so much!
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
