I need to know what version of DVI this is... I need a VGA adapter for it...
 
In addition, I hate to tell you this, but that is the Digital "only" version of the DVI connector, the DVI-D.

So regardless, you'll not be connecting a VGA monitor to it. It's missing the four pins that are needed for VGA connectivity. There should be two on top and two on bottom of the horizontal bar-pin.

This is only compatible with DVI capable displays.
 
HighTest, so you are positive that my picture above is digital only and cannot be converted to VGA?

Thanks guys, no skin off my back... It's work related;)

Positive. See this link showing the pins for the different connectors.

To support a VGA adapter you'd need the DVI-I in either a dual or single link configuration. Notice the four pins I talk about (two above and two below the horizontal bar).

Note the similarity to the photo you pictured with the DualLink DVI-D? This is a digital only connection type.
