I can’t believe I didn’t think of that, thanks!

No problem! If you’re looking for an exact match, though, I’m not sure where to find one.
Be careful with your product key visibility in public photos. You nearly exposed enough to risk theft.
You could use cabinet bumpers and super glue as a quick fix.
Is that an old Dell Vostro?

How’s it holding up?
It’s okay for basic tasks and some old games. It’s getting old though, missing a hinge and only has 2GB of RAM and a dual-core processor.
@Torrance
That’s actually a dual-core CPU. You could upgrade it with more RAM and an SSD for better performance.

I’ve been thinking about upgrading it but need to save up a bit more. It’s good to know the CPU might handle those upgrades well.
@Torrance
You might also consider checking if the CPU is replaceable. If it is, you could potentially upgrade to a third-gen i7 from a broken laptop for a significant boost.

That’s a great idea. I’ll check if the CPU is socketed and not soldered.
If you’re not too concerned about how it looks, any adhesive rubber pads or bumpers could work if you trim them to fit.
I’d suggest designing the part in CAD and then 3D printing it in TPU for durability. Glue it on with CA glue or hot glue.
