I'm OK with having to replace video cards or buy the kind that support certain standards to make this work. I'm also considering putting together another Windows box to do a little desk gaming on, so virtualization, RDP and VNC are not options there, and I really want to keep using that nice Apple stuff (especially that 2560x1440 screen). Now it's headless and I access it through Remote Desktop, but if anything ever goes wrong (like when I reconfigure my network and I do an "ipconfig /release" remotely thinking I can still do a "/renew" next), I have to dig all that stuff out of the closet. On the DIY side, though, I have a server running Windows Server 2012 R2 that I use for some of my more complicated stuff (think a Windows version of a LAMP server but with a ton of storage, also hosting VMs in Hyper-V.) and that used to have another monitor/keyboard/mouse attached but I just couldn't take it anymore. The iMac is a little slow for my taste, and having recently acquired a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, I'm starting to think I can forego the iMac and simply set up a system at home where I can "dock" my laptop to an Apple Thunderbolt Display. I'm composing this question on a Mid 2010 27" iMac, which has attached an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse. I've got a fairly complex setup at home, and desktop clutter (extra keyboards, displays, and mice) are the bane of my existence.
