the conclusion is yes you can use an adapter to use the apple led cinema display 27" with mini display port on a pc. just make sure you got the gc to handle it because i plug in to other system it cannot get to the highest resolution.

the thunderbolt display cannot work with this adapter.

so the question why the heck i want to use an apple led cinema display on a pc?

because i want to do stuff.
