You might want to mount it to the back of the display, If you can not see it the size does not matter. J.D.

I've never seen Apple hardware have trouble driving 3rd party displays, though I will certainly be keeping that in-store Apple return policy at top-of-mind when i go to buy any new hardware ;) Brian - That was a good read amico; thanks for the link.

Is your 30" display an Apple Cinema display? I'm also thinking of getting a desktop to drive my 30" Samsung 305t. Look at the reviews on Apple's store for the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. 2 stars. If you check the 4-5 stars, they are people with Apple cinema displays that plug in the USB cable for power and it seems to work. I haven't seen a review of it working with a non-Apple display. So if I want to use my 30" at higher res than 1280x800 (via standard DVI), it's either a Mac Pro or a PC (not happening). J.D. Is your 30″ display an Apple Cinema display?
