27" cinema display/Quadro 4000 card

The new 27" cinema display interfaces with the computer via a male MiniDisplay connector cable. The new nVidia Quadro 4000 (which Apple sells) only has a DVI female out port, so I need a female MiniDisplay to male DVI adapter. Plenty of options for the opposite configuration (i.e., male Mini to female DVI) but can't find any of what I need. Anyone know of any supplier?

Thanks for the tip. At $200 its might expensive for a converter, and I'm not sure that the electronics in it are what is required in my setup. I'll do some research and post the results. But thanks again.

I'm thinking about using a similar setup. My plan was to use a mini displayport female to display port male since the Quadro 4000 also has that as an output. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Here's a link:

Any thoughts?
