A friend has a 12" Aluminum with a CD-RW/DVD-RW drive that fried. It's out of warranty so he's going to have to pay for the repair himself. I'm going to install it for him and am looking for a replacement.
Anyone have a line on a compatible drive he can get online? Open to any and all suggestions.
This is what Apple put in it originally...

You mean like these from Other World Computing? I've considered getting an internal DVD writer for my TiBook, too...

I just looked over the steps for removing the optical drive from a 12" Aluminum at pbfixit. A lot more steps and dis-assembly than just removing the hard drive.

I have been investigating the possibility of upgrading my PB to a drive capable of dul layer burning, such as the Pioneer DVR-K04L - the drive used by the MCE upgrades... Lowest price that I tracked down was from

Why would you buy from MCE for $249 when you can get the same drive for $199 at DFW Depot?
