The current 23" Cinema display has an aluminum casing, a DVI connector, and a Firewire and USB hub built in. It got a price drop just about a month ago, but the display itself was released last fall. The previous 23" Cinema display was released sometime in 2002 and had a plastic case and an ADC connector, and only USB ports (no Firewire). It received a price drop in early 2003, and stayed the same until the fall 2004 update.
I'd hesitate to buy a brand new one because there are lots of reports of the 23" Cinema display having a pink hue. Get one by a different company, get an older one, or just make sure you can check out the actual display you will be buying before actually buying it. Oh, and what will you be using it with? Because the older ADC one will only work on certain PowerMacs, otherwise it requires a $100 DVI to ADC adapter to use.
