WTB: 15" SXGA lcd/assembly (R51) and DVD-ROM drive/T41

My dvd rom drive is way too flakey and unreliable. Maybe someone has extra parts lying around?

I have a R51 laptop that has a defect on the screen and everything else seems to work as far as I know.

I'd like a 15" lcd flexview SXGA assembly (with inverter) if possible or even just the panel. I posted about this before. I'm looking for something cheap, though, in case the swap doesn't pan out.

My T41 is giving me problems recently so I don't know if I want to undergo another project but if I can find a good price on the lcd assembly, I'd give it a shot.

I'm not sure I want to spend $100 on ebay but I thought I'd see what is out there right now.

I don't know what these two parts would cost but I guess the panel plus a drive might be the cheapest?

I'd like the assembly for an easy swap but maybe shipping would be a bit high?

I would like the ATI GPU since I'm also hoping to find a Flexview screen. 1400x1050?
