You can find a cheap screen on ebay or something. And I suppose you could, but I'm not sure. What firmware was on it?

This would work if you wanted to use it for a hard drive.

Sorry to dredge up a dead thread, but I thought I'd add that I believe that in a Zune (30/80 gig) is just a notebook hard drive, so if you follow existing instructions for replacing the HD, you could just take the hard drive out and use an adapter (I believe I got the notebook to desktop ide adapter from best buy, but I'm not totally sure).
