Possible to use MBP as a monitor for PC?

[glocke12]

Probably dreaming here, but is there anyway to do hook up a dell desktop to my MBP and use the MBP as a monitor?

No, you can't directly input an external video feed into a laptop.

What you can do is use somthing like VNC and operate your PC from the Macbook, with it's screen appearing on the laptop accordingly.

did this the other night useing Ultra VNC (on the XP machine) and Chicken of the VNC on my MBP (worked pretty good, but dont expect quick graphics rendering though, windows desktop stuff is fine, but forget gaming)
