Take the 2-minute tour ×  I currently have a PC with dual
monitors. This PC is on it's way out and I want to replace it
with a new Mac Mini, using my existing peripherals. The current

a smaller, much older, 19" (1280x1024) running on a VGA cable. I
was thinking that I should be able to run the VGA monitor with
adapters HDMI -> DVI -> VGA using the included HDMI -> DVI
adapter and buy the mini DisplayPort -> dual-link DVI adapter to
connect the Dell monitor to the Thunderbolt port.  I'm not sure
that all these adapters will work together properly though, so
I'm looking for some advice. Will this all work together
properly, or will I have to get a new monitor(s) as well?
