Dear Ian
Although I haven't needed to buy anything from them for some time, (my Mac is so reliable), there is a company called VIS at http://www.applemacparts.com/ They are very helpful.
When I had to replace a failed floppy drive in my old 9600 I was amazed that the serial number was only nine away from the part I was replacing.

So they dropped a mac and pc on a program on channel 5 last night. So there
were some silly speed tests, and the pc won in all of them. The one which is
of most interest to me is when they dropped both and broke them. Ok the main
point was seeing how much to repair. The long and short, you can by spares
for pcs and they fixed for £60. The mac spares were not purchasable from mac
and had to be done by a mac certified reseller. Where they charge £50 and
hour to look at it and £400 + for a new motherboard. Ok this is not a
definative test but one that may sway some on this list. I am not entering
into a yours is better than mine debate, that’s silly. It was just
interesting for those who are computer hardware adept that fixing macs
yourself is not possible and a new one is cheaper than a repair.
