I'm in the market for a new:

Power block & cable
60 - 100 GB SSD
8GB RAM
Rechargeable battery

all for a 17" MBP (from 2007ish).

I've costed this all at $300 from powerbookmedic.com, but I was wondering if there was
a) anywhere Irish that do these (buy Irish and all that)
b) anywhere cheaper.

Bear in mind I want new parts, and I'll be able to do the work myself. I saw another thread that mentioned RHDistribution but they don't do MPB parts or I couldn't see them on the website.

TBH, $300 doesn't seem bad at all, but if there was an Irish company that did this I'd be happier to give them my cash.

Ideas / suggestions?

I've used ebay to pick up 60W power blocks before.

Use eBay for the battery & power block.

Get a Samsung 128GB SSD from Pixmania/Amazon & use Crucial.com/eu to get the 8GB of RAM.
