Can you use 20" apple lcd display with pc?

i know that you need an ADC-DVI converter thingiemebob, but I cannot find any confirmation about whether it would work on a PC using a GeForce Ti4400... I do pray to the heavens that it will work; Half-Life 2 is out soon and this may be the key to one HELL of an experience

There were some blurbs about the lack of the Windows widget to control all the monitor's functions -- since Apple uses SW controls and lacks buttons on the monitor to do this basic stuff.

Don't know if somebody came up with something yet.

For an old cinema display, you would need an ADC-DVI "thingiemebob". For the newer ones, you could just plug it in to any video card with a DVI out.
