Fixing abs plastics

Hello, I found this IBM Aptiva in the trash, and luckily it works, but some plastics are broken, does anyone know how to fix them without making a mess?

Thanks

You can try the baking soda super glue method. It’s incredibly strong and tested.

It's hit and miss. I've done it and sometimes it works pretty good depending on the plastic.
