Needing a DVI cable to connect an old MacMini to a monitor, and not being prepared to pay the R500 odd the PC shop want to sell them for, I picked up a cheap DVI cable from a cellphone/China shop.
Well, it didn't work!

Could it be:

1.  Apple is fussy and it must be an Apple cable.
2.  The cable is faulty.
3.  DVI cables do make a difference.

The cable that came with a new premium-grade Dell monitor works fine, but that is needed elsewhere.

I have yet to try the cheap cable on the other setup.

PS.  anyone in Cape Town got a spare DVI cables lying around unused?
