Mac Mini has been widely known for it’s ability as a good Media Center. It makes sense to have a mini-DVI to DVI adapter, but for server usage, the story is different. Anybody who handle servers or spend lots of time at a data center regularly(like me) would agree VGA is more data center friendly. For those of who doesn’t know why, Monitors in the data centers are usually all VGA, since almost all the servers use VGA.
All versions of Mac Mini comes with a Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter. But it doesn’t have extra four holes above and below the horizontal pin. From previous Mac, I have bunch of DVI to VGA adapters. Unfortunately they all have four extra pins sticking out, so they are no use. Apple should be packaging Mini-DVI to VGA with Mac Mini Server!!

Nice, clean website… and from a fellow though
reluctant mac addict, and mac mini owner:
Why not give them this feedback?
They have a product feedback section in the contact us section of their website. In case you didn’t already know.
