juliet: Artist's impression of the Herschel infrared satellite (work)

Mac parts

Anyone out there able to suggest me somewhere UK-based that would be able to sell me a 12" Powerbook CD/DVD drive? Google is Unhelpful (I can find 'em in the US, but that's no good).

Mine has broken, & the repair place have quoted me £300. Which is not that bad (US prices for the drive are $300, so I'd expect here to be a bit higher), but they also want to take it away for TWO WHOLE WEEKS.

If none of you helpful people can suggest somewhere I suppose I could mail them back & ask if they do parts sales, but I suspect they won't.
