Hi all,

Well I've ordered my new workstation (I like it when my boss gives me money to spend) and it's now in pre-production. Such a painful thing, waiting. I'm just so excited Anyway my spec is:

Monitor

So my questions I have a second monitor with D-Sub connection. I understand the PNY Quadro has 1xDVI and 2xDisplay Port connections. Does it come with any adapters, or will I have to buy some?

I was planning on going Display port to one of the IIYAMA's HDMI and DVI to my old monitor's D-Sub.

Is that the best way to go?

You might get adaptors in your welcome pack,at least DVI to VGA I would think.Best give pcs a call before buying yourself,I don't see much of an option to what you plan connection wise unless the IIYAMA has a DVI port.Ah, just noticed new monitor has DVI port,so you could connect that with a straight DVI to DVI cable & your old monitor from DP to VGA(D-SUB) As an option to your own plan.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I think your probably right with the connections. I imagine it's better to use less adapters if possible. So DVI to DVI and DP to D-SUB it is.
