I finally found the backup I wrote down after using Gavin Andresen's Bitcoin faucet.

I wasn't around back then, but the faucet didn't give you a private key, right? Just to confirm you're really looking for the wallet you used.

If it's HEX, it's not Armory:

Armory Root Key: 18 four letter "words".

Use Armory.

Great theories. Here is the exact format I wrote it in, but I changed all the characters. I do remember maybe converting it to hex or binary, or at least considering it.

0486 | 4AE5 | 41BC
A58F | 3FBA | 1AD7

34F6 | 2AEB
37A4 | 4AAF

7?A4 | ?42? | 6F?? | ??D8
71?D | 6?A? | ?FCA | 86B?

32?F
7F?B

It doesn't look like any format I've ever seen. I've seen many stories from people who couldn't figure out how they stored their Bitcoins anymore, so I think your best bet is trying really hard to remember what you did. That's tough after so long.
