The other problem I have is that none of my monitors will fit. Does anyone know what kind of adapter I need to get an older monitor showing on a G5? It shows it has 2 monitor ports

If you have 2 different ports on your video card and neither are regular VGA then you have a DVI port and an ADC port. You can get DVI to VGA adapters about anywhere that sells computer hardware. ADC to VGA or ADC to DVI are harder to find and much more expensive. (A few bucks vs $20-30)

Here are examples of standard video connectors:

The Apple ADC port is not on the list and will only work with Apple ADC Studio Display Monitors unless you have the adapter. ADC is cool because it supplies the monitor power and USB through the video card port. Too bad it didn't catch on...
