Hi,
I found a Very cheap 17" SGI AMLCD w/ DVI output. Can I use this with my desktop PC?

Thanks.

Of course the exact model you have might be helpful.

If you've got the 1600SW, you'll need an adapter to use it with a DVI or HD15 (or VGA) port on your average PC video card. These can be found on ebay, if you need one (called the Multi-link adapter, IIRC).

If it's the 1600SW you'll need the breakout box like was mentioned. If it's a CRT I believe the connector is called 13W3. I know you can order those adapters to go from VGA.
