As you can see by the pictures, the laptop has destroyed the standoff for the hinges. Notice the standoffs are still attached to the computer, while the main body plastic is completely destroyed. The model number is W650SZ (OEM laptop, I think Clevo is the manufacturer) Would it be wise to simply use this computer just as a desktop computer?

You can try sourcing a replacement bottom cover, then removing the screws from the existing grommets so you can just screw them into the replacement.

New it's under $60.  You can rebuild it, you have the technology...

Welp the top cover would need replacing as well. Honestly the laptop is more than 6 years old at this point so it is probably time for an upgrade.
