     The Rage 128 card with which the system comes includes a DVI 
video port, so all your friend needs is an Apple DVI  to ADC adapter:

$99 at the Apple Store online. The Dr. Bott DVIator,

$94.95 from Dr. Bott is similar, but it doesn't work with the 17-inch 
Studio Display, which is evidently what your friend has.

     Alternately, of course, your friend could go with an AGP video 
card with more VRAM than the Rage.
