Here is one on ebay as a donor chassis. the screen works and it looks like the hinges are ok.

I alos did a simople searech under "dell hinges" and found a lot of stuff. ngo on the Dell Tech Forum and ask if the hinges on an X200 Latitude were used on any other models then do the seach and see what you get.
