My 605 arrived the same as yours. Lots of rattling plastic bits and free floating components inside. Mine still works too, and I hooked it up via an adapter and the VGA cable at 1024x768x60Hz to a spare 17" gateway LCD display that was handy. It's lovely on that big screen.
I didn't try it with a VGA-DVI adapter and DVI cable, but there's no reason it wouldn't work on this particular monitor, because it accepts analog RGB&Sync over the DVI cable (that's what the 4 pins and spade bit over to the right of the cable's connectors are). If your monitor won't accept those analog signals, you are sadly out of luck.
PS: hook up a SCSI cable (with or without anything at the other end) and your video adapter to hold the logic board in place so it doesn't flail about when you're trying to hook up your other peripherals.
