Yeah it definately has the chipped plastic edges around the top case, but the other "mystery" cracks elsewhere suggests I may have a difficult time justifying replacement plastics from an Apple store. And for $25 I don't want to push the good luck, I've not picked up a bargain off eBay for a good couple of years, even though the seller was very frustrating to deal with.

So far I've scrounged up a total of 1.5GB RAM for it, and a 100GB 7200 RPM HD which should be heaps, now running 10.6.8. One thing is that the Superdrive I really have to force the disc in, it reads it fine. It ejects OK, is something up with the mechanism?
