I need a couple things.

I'm looking for a cheap 3.5" IDE hard drive. I'd like to spend $20 or less on it, and would prefer it to be in-warranty, if even for a little while (e.g. a few months). Seagate or Western Digital preferred. Anything over 20GB should be plenty for my needs (scratch disk and transferring files quickly between my iBook and my Windows machines)

I'm also still looking for a couple parts for a clamshell iBook. Someone commented on my post about this a few months ago, but never responded to my PMs.

Need:
> Keyboard - blueberry preferred, but will take anything
> CD-ROM bezel - blueberry preferred, but will take anything
> Power adapter - 3rd party is fine
> Screws from a clamshell. This blueberry I'm putting together (and will sell here first) is missing a bunch of screws, so if anyone's got a dead clamshell they can cannibalize for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Please email me at this username @gmail.com or post here or PM me if you've got an offer for me. I need the clamshell keyboard more than anything else on that parts list.
For all the trash I talk, I sure own a lot of Macs...

Bump...come on, there's got to be someone with a 20GB or 40GB drive they can unload...

Faaaantastic. How much do you want for the keyboard and the bezel? What color is the keyboard, btw...and what shape is it in? Any keys missing? I'm assuming it's fully functional...

The screws I need:

> 3 of the 4 T8 torx short screws that go on the bottom of the case near the battery
> 1 short Phillips that goes right where the CD-ROM is
> 1 of the 2 T8 torx screw that holds down the plastic plate over the sleep LED on the back of the lid
> 2 short Phillips screws that hold down the Airport plate
> 4 short T8 torx screws that hold together the LCD plastics (directly under the handle)

I'm sure there's other crap on the internals of the laptop, but this is the stuff I need to securely hold it all together.

Just give me a price quote...I'm not looking to pay a whole ton of money. This is just so that I can assemble this other iBook to the point where I can sell it for a little money. I can do PayPal.
