Very bad. :-( Even if it is working afterwards, it may fail later on, or may work but not work correctly. One damaged circuit can cause cascade failures in others. I.e., what typically happens to electronics after static electric shock or a power surge. Circuit starts acting "wierd" then they fail or go up in smoke. *ONLY* do this if your company could lose millions of dollars by turning off the machine after the monitor fails. Hot swapping parts should be left for emergencies, or in rare instances for electronic repair technicians who know what they're doing. USB is the only thing I'll hot-plug. If you seriously think you'll have a user, e.g., co-worker or child, that would do that, then I'd recommend screwing down the connector screws real tight and use some thread locker and/or epoxy. Otherwise, you risk all the time and money re-building a new computer. As someone who has experienced too much electronics failure, both at home and as part of a past job, this is a small nightmare I'd willingly avoid.
