What plastic broke ?  The outside 'skin' ?  I may still have some Indy 
'skin'.  (and
other Indy parts as well, I think Sony PSUs, a mainboard or two I think, 
a few cams,
just no CPUs).

If you need an Indy skin, yours for the cost of shipping plus $5 for 
packaging/time.
(it would be coming from USA).
