I'm looking for a 12" bottom casing that is in good shape.

My bottom casing, i mean the peice that supports the battery, latch, all input ports, all 4 corners of the computer, etc.

Not looking to spend too much and Shipping to Canada required.

Thanks for the tip...
I don't really want to spend too much on the part...
This would be the part i'm looking for...

I just got a 12" PB for fairly cheap but the casing isn't in the best shape.
If i can find a casing for cheap... i'll swap it out... if not.. i'm in no rush..

I have one that is in good shape except the area where the cd-rom drive is - it bows out just a hair (common on the powerbooks after a while).

It could probably be fixed while the case is off, but I don't want to go bending metal at all. Would you be interested, and how much are you looking to spend?

EDIT: I also have another one which looks new around the cd drive, but it bows out a little above the eject button. Also, it was dropped (when together) on the corner of the battery, and it would need to be coerced back into shape a little bit (you could def get it to fit fine, but would probably be able to tell that it wasn't perfect). I can sell that one for less.

I consider this one the "better condition one". It has scratches on the bottom but only has that one piece that bows a little over the dvd drive (can bow in or out, just touch it and it moves. I think if it is pulled "up" it could fix it).

I consider this the "worse off" one because it has the issue over eject button (common) and the dent in the corner. BTW all images are clickable thumbnails. Prices quoted in PM include priority shipping to Canada.
