Hi Jay

No, this isn't possible.

Why would you buy a new iMac and want to use it for a monitor for a PC?

You know you can dual boot both OS X and WindowsXP on the new iMacs, right?

You can also use a VNC program to view or control the Mac from the Dell, or from the Dell to the Mac.

Thanks for the prompt response. i really appreciate it.

i know that it can dual boot but i would prefer the mac to operate the mac os x.

i have to research on that vnc.

once again thanks a lot. you guys are the best!!!
