Here's what you do.  Take a good power drill in one hand, the IBM in the
other.  Using a really, REALLY long drill bit, drill a hole all the way
through the monitor.  Feed a nice strong cable through this hole.   Arc
weld the ends of the cable together, drag the assembly out the door and
into the yard or some suitably wide space.  Don't worry about the rest
of the computer, they're all permanently attached to the monitor by their
cables, so they'll follow nicely.  By calling upon the powers of Greyskull
(ala He-man), now swing the unit above your head and throw it into the
Pacific Ocean.  

This does absolutely nothing to help your Mac recognize the hard drive.

It does however, make you feel much better 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
