Is a 30” Cinema HD monitor compatible with a Mini Mac?
Hi, welcome to the Apple Users Community.
It's very likely but with such limited information on your Mac Mini and the display, we would be guessing.
Help us to help you by letting us know more about the specs and age of the units.
Best of luck
Most of these are USB-C to female Dual-link DVI adapter, and unless the OP has an existing dual-link DVI M/M cable with the 30 inch Cinema Display that can plug into the adapter, then that will be another cable expense.
The display has a cable with DVI, USB, FireWire, and power plugs.
The DVI plug goes into the USB-C to Dual-Livk DVI adapter that plugs into one iof the com;puter's USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports.
The USB-A plug goes into the USB-A port on the computer.
The FireWire plug is not used
The power plug goes into the display's power supply unit.

The Monitor is from 2004. The computer is a refurbished Mac Mini (Oct 2018) 3.6Ghz quad-core Intel Core i3.
thank you.
The Apple display has an attached cable with a male Dual-Link DVI connector.
Thanks for clearing that up. Before I posted, I attempted to find that detail information, or an image that showed the cabling. Probably knew this in 2004, but had forgotten.
