See point 12 on that page. You'll need to convert from HDMI or whatever output your PC provides to either Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort and it should/might work. In theory, at least.

Seeing as it's pretty much impossible to convert HDMI to Thunderbolt, I suppose that would rule out the 2011 and later iMac. I do know the 27" mid 2010 will work with any Mini DisplayPort signal.

My graphics card has dual-link DVI, HDMI, and Displayport 1.2. Am I pretty much out of luck with this endeavor?

Pre-Thinderbolt iMacs should work with any DisplayPort signal for Target Display Mode.

Post-Thunderbolt iMacs will only do TDM for another Thunderbolt-equipped Mac.

Sorry.
