How do I connect a second monitor (DVI) to the T-Bolt based iMac?

Frustrated - cannot find a way to attach a second monitor to the new i5 iMac w/Thunderbolt...any suggestions or solutions? Thanks very much!

If you are only connecting one external display then you can use the Mini DIsplayport to DVI Adapter. The Thunderbolt port can drive Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPort displays, and using this adapter it can also drive a DVI-D or DVI-I display.

Depending on the country where you live there are other options available too such as this:
