Is it possible to plug a desktop PC into a powerbook so that I would be able to use the 17" screen as my display?
Got a tip for us?

No.
EDIT: In response to below... yeah, if you got a PC card with video-in but then it wouldn't truly be broadcasting to the LCD... but rather be windowed... so yes, it will look like crap
Nope....but that begs several questions. Do you already own both computers? 'Cause if all you want is a 17" Apple display for your PC, it's easier to just buy the display. And if you already have the PC, don't you have a display for it? And if you already have the Powerbook, what's on the PC that you can't do on the Powerbook instead?
