Looking to use my Apple Thunderbolt Display for my PC?

[PeppermintFangs]

I have a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display, and I want to use it as a display for my PC. Unfortunately, this display has no HDMI connectors, only one Mini-DVI connector. This is compatible with my mac, of course, but my PC graphics card (XFX R9 290) does not have a Mini-DVI connector.

My question: Is there a Mini-DVI to HDMI connector, or other adapter, avaliable so I can connect an HDMI cord to my graphics card, then connect it to an adapter which I can also plug into my Mini-DVI display connector?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes. Buy an adapter.

Leave it to Apple to use some proprietary plug that no one else would ever use:

Why would you want to use an overpriced screen for a PC display?

I agree, apple has never been wallet friendly... Thank you for the links.
As for my choice in monitor, this was given to me by a friend. It is a high quality display and I don't have the money right now to buy its equal.

Thanks again for the help!

That makes sense.
