Yeah, it's got that funny adc connector. You can get the same monitor but in the non-apple package. The lcd used is a LG semicon I believe. OR you could get a samsung 21" or 24" lcd.

Also, the monitor is 22" not 23".

If your client doesn't mind a 4:3 ratio monitor, there's also 23.1" lcd that is available.

There are adapters made so you can plug the monitor into a regular vga or DVI port, if you go to apples site and find what the monitor plugs into then do a search you can find the adapters, they generally run between $100 and $200.

The old 1600x1024 apple cinema display was 22". The new 1920x1200 one is 23". They're both 16:10.
