Thank you very much for reporting this.  What was missing was the white 
adaptor that goes between the DVI cable and the HDMI port on the mac.  I 
guess it was stolen, which is really sad: we've almost never had 
problems with stuff disappearing in the BCRC.

Note that each computer has a name (which appears on a little white 
label on the screen.  Each computer also has a single letter in magic 
marker that corresponds to the name.  (The names are derived from the 
NATO phonetic alphabet.) The computers are also on the network with 
those names, e.g. tango.bio.mor.nsm.

Cheers!
