Hi,

You'll need to replace the LCD assembly. We'll recommend you to look for the part online and take the system to a local shop for them to do the repair. Dell doesn't have parts for this system anymore.

Replace the broken plastic parts and keep all the existing expensive parts like LCD-Panel. Like Judal says, if not broken themselves, hinges might just need some lube if they are just too stiff (or un-available).
 
If you don't mind an "industrial look" or "alien space-craft look" install some new bolts and re-enforcement plates that show on outside.
 
I've seen some HPs crack apart like this also, but at least they sell the cheap parts to fix them.
