Webster Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hello, after seeing all these moding projects etc.. I finally started my own, I'm planning on building a macbook pro. I already got the 15" case for 40 euros, would it be a difficult task to build one from original apple parts? Also, do you guys know some good stores for apple parts? Or have some parts yourself and willing to sell them. Kind regards, Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harloe Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 For Apple parts your best bet is eBay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Can somebody tell me why apple logic boards are so damn expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknojunkie Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 its because they don't have bunch of other company making them for Apple, ex. PC hardware over a dozen companies make them, apple only them so i guess thats why, same with their Apple Computers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am...me Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Your better off just buying a new one. Displays at iFix it are 999.95 and the logic boards are the same price (For the previous generation santa rosa platform) , super drives are about 200 hard drives are another 150-200 a battery is 200 the magsafe is 60 bringing the grand total to about 2700... EDIT i forgot a few more things... you have to buy the wireless card, the left IO board, the fans, screws, the PRAM battery, bluetooth board, ambient light sensors, the bluetooh antenna, speakers, the thermal sensors and other little cables... it would cost more to build from parts than it would to buy a new, current one.. New grand total... $3410 not including shipping or tax give or take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hmm... you may have a point there. I'll just buy one, then I'll still continue this project and sell the thing or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
