Depends on the model. Some are more involved than others.

Check the torq of the hinge screws. They tend to come loose over time and can rock a little. This can cause the plastic to break that holds the female standoffs that it attaches too.

If it's not a touchscreen, it's fairly easy to repair. Still shouldn't have broke in the first place, but it's just the back panel cover.

I've repaired hundreds of laptops across multiple vendors on all kinds of damage, fwiw.

It's like...the first pic is the movie poster of the most epic 80's fantasy movie ever. The second one is the poster for the musical version XD

I have a much simpler setup though. Just a 'smart' TV and a sound bar I paid about $200 for so nothing fancy.

Not actually looking for advice, just a thought experiment of quick, easy and cheap fixes.

I've always wanted to try putting something like a guitar compressor pedal in the audio chain just to normalize the peaks. My wife will find something to watch, but ends up spending half the time adjusting the volume, or just turning on subtitles.

I guess what I meant a bit more specifically are things like buttons, the screen, cables, any daughter boards needed for like special lights, speakers etc. stuff beyond, as you mentioned.

The cabinet and it's own electronics.

Nextcloud is a lot of things. A bit overkill for just it's office offering tbh. But, if it fits your workflow, and you like other things it offers go for it. The snap package actually makes it very easy to tinker with (despite the deserved hate of snaps in general).
