James I currently have a 17" Sun monitor hooked up to a Windows box. Been awhile since I did it, but I do remember I had to get both a special video card and the adapter for the cable. Can't remember the name of the card off hand (found it on the web), but I do remember it was around $100 to get it working. The video looks okay in Windows, with the exception of a couple of bars that run down each side of the picture. Not sure if this was due to a previous screen burn or just the way the monitor is. Works fine for what I use it for.
