Hi Guys and Gals, my boss just got a Mac 37in cinema display and insists on me trying to find a way to connect it to a vga , Apple has no converters and told me to check this site for some different way of getting it to work on an IBM computer.
Any Suggestions?
 
Assuming he really bought an Apple 30" Cinema Display, a product that actually exists, then he is out of luck. As very clearly stated in the specs the only way to drive it is via a dual-link DVI connection.

Sorry guys,, its a 24inch Mac Display
supposedly on for MAC Air books..
Geffen makes a converter but it has only one connection this dang monitor has three dfferent connections
there has to be a way to get it to work on an IBM , he wants 2 monitors working off that computer and this is one of them.
 
The 24" Apple (not Mac: Apple are the company, Mac is product and screens are not Macs) Cinema Display requires a Mini Display Port connection. Again this must be digital. Exactly what output connectors do you have on this "IBM". If it's only VGA (no DVI, no DisplayPort, no HDMI) the only solutions are going to be very expensive. Even if he has DVI or HDMI the solution is going to be at least $150.

Ok its not my money and he has plenty ,,what would be the 150$ solution?
its for a clinic and he does not care about the cost.
