I converted my 27" 5k iMac into a monitor using a conversion board from eBay. I use a macbook air for personal stuff, and a windows laptop for work (Microsoft). So it's great having a 5k monitor for both of my laptops! It looks great, but honestly wasn't really worth the effort and risk of damaging everything. I retrospect I'd have sold the iMac and bought the Studio Display I think.
