Dropped my MacBook Pro today :(?

Everything seems to be fine performance wise, but there is an obvious problem with the screen. There's a dent in the back of the screen and I believe the LCD has cracked. There are vertical rainbow lines concentrated about the dent and they transfer into horizontal lines at the bottom of the screen. My question is, do I need to replace just the LCD or the whole thing?

Details:

15" MacBook Pro (not unibody)

2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Little over a year old

My friend can do the labor so all I need is the part (thank goodness), but I wanted to ask before I spent about 200-500 extra dollars.

    Look around for a 15" screen for a macbook, I'm sure there are some out there. you shouldn't have to replace the whole thing, just the LCD.

    Its good that you have a friend that can perform the repairs, otherwise it can be somewhat expensive, but if you are under any warranty this could void it, and you may be better off sending it in to apple to have it fixed, just so you know.
