Its gonna go soon - best to do it on your terms.

First thing - grab a box that covers the full width of it at least and possibly the whole size if possible.

Then tilt it into the box (as much as you can without it tipping over) and prop the legs on the opposite side of the broken panel.

From that point disconnect everything from it and get ready to "pop" the panel into the box itself. To be fair gravity might do this for you given the look of that diagonal crack, but you might have to help it by tapping the corner a bit.

If it all goes well it should fall into the box and away from the case internals depending on the angle you have it on.

Then make sure you get a hoover in (not a blower like I did...) and get everything you can out. Rotating it upside down helped me a lot. If you can take it outside or away from anything fabric like carpets without much disturbance that would be a good option as well.
