New laser/mech for PS3 - Recommendations

Anyone have a recommendation on where I can pick up a new laser and mech assembly for my PS3 (60GB original)? My laser seems to have gone out and I need to replace it. Kind of pisses me off because I don't use my PS3 that much and have only used brand new discs on it (game and movies).
 
If you want a new one call Sony and pay them to repair it
If not I have had good luck getting them from this place

I'm not sending it to Sony. It is a 60GB unit, and they don't make any guarantees you'll get the same console back. The repair is easy, and I know the part I need to replace it with. I'd just like a recommendation of a reputable shop that people may have done business with in the past.
 
I got my laser from eBay as well, I'll try to look up the seller.
Found it - "gadgetresurrection" is the seller.

I thought you got the same model console back (not necessarily the same exact console you sent in) when you sent it in for repair. Might want to call and ask them them at least.

If they can't fix it, they'll send you another console. They would most likely be able to fix mine, but I don't want to take that chance.
