    Just had a quick butchers around google and apparently there aint many adapters that do it, and apparently the ones that do are very expensive.

    ill look a bit more into it later, dont have a lot of time at the moment

    no, its just a google pic.

    the set-up needed is as follows

    Mac monitor: DVI-D male --> adaptor: DVI-D female/VGA male --> PC graphics card: VGA female

    funnily enough i have a dvi-d sex changer (female to female) which would enable me to use a DVD-D single link male to VGA male adaptor if you had one?
