Q: 2008 20" Cinema Display Cables with new MacPro

2008 20" Cinema Display Cables used with new MacPro 2014 -- Of the 4 cables, one goes to the DC plug and the other Thunderbolt into the MacPro, 2 cables (firewire and USB) are unused. Any suggestions on how to decrease the cable mess on my desk, I have 2 Cinema Displays?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

    okay- I know the new Mac Pro 2014 has Thunderbolt, so you'd need something that does that to dvi. I think you can find a Thunderbolt adapter on Amazon, but

    as far as I know, monoprice seems to be the only one that does TB to 2 dvi sockets. Whether or not it works is something I can't say for sure, and like it or not, TB will be the new standard.

     

    well, it's a start, anyways
