Good site for laptop (DVD drive) spares?

p5x

I'm after a "NEC ND6500A Slimline DVD±RW DL Drive" to replace the faulty one on my Packard Bell laptop. There's a few up on Ebay for around £60 but are there any decent sites that sell these drives?

Also, does it have to be this specific model number I need to replace the drive with or can I pick any model, if so, what do I need to look for?

Gump.

Are all laptop drives a standard size or do I have to get the same model as the one I previously had in it?

yours seems deeper so the alternative should fit, not sure about the face plate fitting though
