No, it's a Western Digital 20gb not sure of model number..
 
Have you had any speakers by any chance next to your moniter? I know if you have powerful enough speakers sitting close to your moniter it can cause it to do a lot of crazy things mine changed colors shades. Everything had a green tint to it.
 
His computer locked, though. And I don't think magnetic fields make nice, solid colored lines like that.

It was probably a power hiccup or something. Run scandisk and such, see if anything turns up.
