Remove the drive, find a suitable external enclosure for it, install the drive in the enclosure, connect to your other computer. Or if your other computer supports multiple drives, then install the drive in one of the empty bays provided the other computer supports the interface (ATA or SATA or SCSI.)

Remove the hard drive and get one of these USB hard drive adapters. http://tinyurl.com/a5l2htjThen plug the adapter into your iMac to see/retrieve the files.
