Set up your mac using the PC as a stand to raise your Mac to the proper
viewing height.  Make sure that you do not plug the PC in.  8-)

I saw a program a few years ago that allowed a Mac to control a PC.  The
PC ended up in a window on the Mac screen.  I think it was created by
the MacCharlie people, but I'm not sure.  Check out recent Mac Connection,
Mac Zone, or Mac Warehouse catelogs.

Another alternative, if you like UNIX, is to run VP/ix on your PC, then
use a Mac window as a dumb terminal.
