Apple Cinema Display

I'm thinking about selling all my expensive SCSI hardware(controllers, HDDS, & CDR) + nice big 21" monitor and my secondary PC to get this buuuuuutiful LCD Screen :)

I wonder if those nice speakers are compatible with my pc also.. :)

No, they aren't. They have one cord coming out the back that carries video, power and USB. It's a proprietary connector. I don't know which speakers you are referring to, but if they are the clear USB round ones that come with the cube, they don't work with PC's either.

Yeah I saw one of those monitors at a microcenter store near me, the link you gave doesnt even begin to describe how beautiful that monitor looks. I saw it when it was playing a dvd of the matrix, i was blown away. The guy there said that its not compatible with pc's though, different kind of connection. :|
