STOP USING THE MONITOR IMMEDIATELY, and disconnect it from the mac. if the case was that badly broken the insides probably shook partially loose. it sounds like one of the internal high voltages is arcing (this wouldn't show up on the surge suppresser normally). the rolling dice sound is probably from something arcing to the video cable and making an arc INSIDE your mac, this will eventually do incredible damage if it hasn't yet. i say again, unplug the monitor and deposit it in the nearest trash receptacle, if you're lucky the mac hasn't been seriously damaged yet, and so far you've avoided a nasty shock, but it will happen if you continue to use that monitor.
