Hey All,
Just curious to see if any of you guys out there are using an Apple Cinema Display with your PC? If so, what adapter are you using to connect the two?
 
This adapter actually converts a Dual-Link DVI signal into a Mini DisplayPort signal for the connection of your Apple Cinema Display or iMac and also supports 2ch audio.

    I have one that I use on my server.  It is a olderish one though and used a DVI connector.

    the 27 inch Cinema Display DOES NOT work with a PC.
    I've called apple about it 3 times asking because i wanted to buy one of them because of its display range.
    Both times they just outright said no, one said yes and tried to sell me the thing anyways, and one out right explained why it didnt work and the two that said no procceded to try to sell me a Mac because my PC cant do everything a mac can.... I am not kidding you, thats what they both said.

    yes apple sucks, but they do have good hardware lineups, and yes PC do have some monitors with the same display range, just get ready to sell half your liver, and a kidney to get them.
