So you have to buy a DVI-I cable and then convert it to DVI-D or buy a DVI-D cable. (Which are very, very rare I've found)

Try PCCables.com, DVI-D from $16.00. I have purchased DVI-D and other cables from them.

That's good and fine if you know in advance that you're going to need one. Apple, however, does not tell you when you order the DTK that you're going to need a digital monitor and DVI-D cable. Instead, for most of us we got the DTK and then spent the better part of a day running around town trying to find either a DVI-VGA adapter that would fit (not knowing what DVI-D was let alone that it meant no analog signal) or trying to find a DVI-D cable for a reasonable price.


If we would have known in advance what we needed and what would work with the transition kit then we could have saved a lot of time and ordered something online for cheap.

Hopefully now a lot more people will know what they'll need when they order their transition kit.
