I have a 30" Apple display paired with a powermac g5. I was curious if I there is anyway way I can send a HD signal to the display (component cables). Thanks.

Best,
Ken

There are lots of component to DVI converters about. One of those would do it.

Link works, but I think I would need DVI female to component female. See I am trying to connect an xbox 360 to the apple display.

Actually a Component to DVI adapter alone will not work since the ACD have no built in scalers to tell them how to display the signal. You would need something like this:

I saw one at macworld last year at their booth, it was hooked up to a XBOX 360 and a 23" ACD and it looked awesome.
