Hey guys, I was just looking for some advice since I'm about to go out and buy this monitor (139 in store):

Now the specifications say VGA only (which I find hard to believe).
I'm not sure if it comes with the proper DVI cables, apparently it only comes with a VGA cable, which is dumb, so would I be able to use the one I am using now on my older 2007 monitor with this new monitor? I have a DVI-I single link cable.

^ The top one or the third one down is the one I have.
Or would I have to drop 40 dollars for a DVI-??? cable at the store as well?
I'm unsure about the connections here, what should seem pretty simple is rather complicated now that I am reading into different DVI variations. The screenshot showing the back of the monitor shows either a DVI-I Dual Link or a DVI-D.
I spent a little while this morning looking into the facts and ended up throwing my hands up in the air (literally) and made some funny Zoidberg noises.
