iMac (screen) <-> PC VGA
A friend gave me his 2012 iMac (fat 24"), is there any way to hook it up with my PC's VGA port?
I have the Macbook VGA converter (displayport -> VGA), but not sure if I need additional part for this connection.

I don't think the iMac has video inputs since it was meant to be used as a standalone computer. You might be able to get some sort of video recording USB adapter but it won't be the same.

iMacs have something called Target Display Mode (TDM) that'll allow the iMac to be used an external monitor. However, now that it's Thunderbolt, it only looks like Macbooks and iMacs are supported.

Check into getting a "rocket fish". That should be able to give you the connection you need.
