I dropped my laptop at a job interview yesterday!

The only damage was to the catch release for the battery. It has two parts. One that is on the outside bottom of the case and another that is inside the case and holds the battery.
It is lost. Does anyone have an old Dell laptop chassis lying around? I would gladly purchase or trade for it. Maybe someone has an even better suggestion. I have already been to Dell's website. The want to sell the whole chassis for a 50 cent part. ( I would pay 10$ for the right one)


Any ideas?
