Almost any display will work with a Mac with the correct cable or adapter.

What is the make and model of the 30" display?

Is this the display?
<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2RY0YX3985>

It has DisplayPort, so can connect to the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable

or you could use a DUAL-LINK DVI cable.

It looks like it.
It is an eBay listing. So I should ignore that it states no mac computers?.

That model doesn't have DisplayPort, but should work with a DUAL-Link DVI cable.
