WTB: iBook G3 or G4 Combo drive w/ faceplate

[EHUnlucky7x9@ao]

I bought an iBook 600 from a school that upgraded and the CD drive is semi-funtional. Regardless, I want it to play DVD's too so I'm looking for a Combo drive (DVD/CDRW). If you have a slot-load one, that would be nice. If you have a tray load one, that would be just fine. I'm looking to spend less than I would on Ebay for one and I need the faceplate too with it... but if its a tray load one, I don't need the faceplate then, but it must come from an iBook. Why? Because I use to have an iBook and i put a 3rd party drive into it and the faceplate never fit. So.... if anyone has one, please let me know. Thanks!

I'm looking for one that is cheapppp AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL. If its untested...i dont want it. :D Nothing over $30 please. So if you have one that's just laying around, let me know. Thanks!

Hmm... that sounds good, but I dont' think they have the faceplate to them or if I can even attach the ibook faceplate from the G4 ibooks onto that slot load drive. How much would you want for that though?

Ok, I'll keep it in mind. I'm going to wait for someone with an iBook drive a chance to post. That way I get a faceplate too n it will just be a simple swap for me with no cosmetic differences to the casing.
