Mac replacement parts & upgrades?

I'm after the subframe of a powerbook g4 titanium. Spacificly the top section that supports the screen and the hinge system at the back. any ideas?

I only have 256mb of pc 133 in this unit. Could anyone tell me the most it supports (I think it is 1gb with 2x512mb modues but im not 100%) and also if it will take any pc133 ram I buy or do I need a specific type?

I also only have a 40gb hdd in the unit, can I install any normal IDE HDD of any size?

I'm new to macs and had this given to me to play around on but really can't use it in a mobile sence untill I fix the screen/hinge problem, so any help would be cool

thanks, TMS.

sorry didn't see the model as it wasn't capitalised, apologies

If it is the 800mhz model you have linked to the max memory is 1GB, it supports PC133 SO-DIMMs.

The Powebook will probably support 9.5mm tall ATA drives, not sure if there is a limit to how much hard drive space it can address.

As for the subframe, fleabay would probably be a place to start.
