The display shown in the original question looks like the early Apple LCD with
a proprietary interface connector. Those might be available, but not all that
common.
A good option might be to replace it with a conventional DVI LCD. Depending on
the Mac, it might have a second display connector that is DVI -- my Mac Pro
does, for example. Or you might be able to find a convertor cable, I don't
remember what's involved in those.
