Fixed the monitor hinge fix
Made the fix look a little more streamlined. Now, instead of sticking out at the sides of the screen, the sticks are pointing up and down. Might decorate the sticks or at least paint them silver so they don't look out of place. It's not the best fix, and I still gotta worry about the lid flipping closed, but at least I have a semi-workable solution for now.
Broken Laptop Hinges - Found Workaround!
I found some craft sticks(aka popsicle sticks) and was playing around trying to find a way to keep the monitor up where I wanted it. First I tried hot-gluing them to the bottom of the lid to act like sort of a 'door stop' but it didn't work that great - popped the monitor out of the hinges a few times and the sticks just wouldn't stay in place. Right now I'm taking a different approach; I stuck two craft sticks on the sides of the console, and two on the top of the monitor... though I might change it because it looks a bit too odd still. But at least it works.
