    HDD- any standard laptop drive should be ok, perhaps only 9.5mm ones, not sure, try lowendmac.com for good mailing lists and www.xlr8yourmac.com for all sorts of stuff...also links to Macsales.com which is an american site, but often getting stuff from there is cheaper than here...

    Alternatively www.pbfanatic.co.uk, nice guy, based here, has just about everything you are likely to need!
    Well Hello!

    managed to get a battery now, found a new official apple one on ebay in the states - got it for 100$ shipped - thats about £60 in UK money. Since most website want £100+ for a 3rd party one its not a bad deal
