From the advice I got on iFixit, I'm going to need my top case and keyboard replaced on my 17'' Macbook Pro:

It looks like a keyboard will be about $70-90, but most top cases I see are for $160-300ish.

This is a Top Case and Keyboard for 170... but there is very little information listed. I sent a note asking if trackpad/keyboard cables were included.

What do you think? Anyone know of any better deals or a better place to get these parts? What do you think the :apple: Store would charge me to get this done? (still under warranty, but I caused the damage)

Model #A1229
