for the glass, turn up the specular level and the glossiness of the material. that will help a lot.

for the screen thing, you can use a gif or an avi file as a moving texture for whatever happens on the screen. for a glow, use a omni light with the glow and ray lens effects on it. put it inside the monitor so it won't show, then pull it out whe you want the glow to show.

for the vortex, use a tube with a cool swierly texture on it, and hide it inside the monitor, only to expand it when the time comes for much vortex-pwning.

i had written a better tutorial on this, but my computer messed up on me, so if you need a better explaination, let me know an ill type it up again.
What I meant for the music is how would I put non copyrighted songs in the paper work or should I jsut say it was created for my animation. THese songs are NOT COPYRIGHTED, so i shouldn't need any paper work.

Ill try that on teh glass.

I want the screen black then it glows in the middle, but then opens up or swirls towards teh center and opens into teh vortex anyway tyo get the swirl effect or a black hole effect?

Would there be an easy way to have alot of colors flashing or would I have to individual set the each light and color change?
