Using an iMac Late 2009 Mini Displayport from a PC (hackintosh) via HDMI - What hardware do I need?

Hi all. I have a late 2009 iMac 27" with a Mini Displayport. I was planning on using this as a monitor for my hackintosh. I have tried to connect from the HDMI output of the PC to the Mini Displayport socket on the rear of the iMac and nothing happens.

I am thining that it is my rubbishy dongle that I purchased from Amazon as I have seen that there would probably need to be some power interface as the iMac will not be putting out power via the displayport.

Does anybody have any suggestions for what I should buy or use? The graphics card I am currently using has a full sized display port - do these connect directly to mini displayport via some form of magic cable?

Cheers,

Alan
