@codemonkeymike Slightly different thing, but gawsh I recently had to look into Apple's repair system as I unfortunately dropped my MBP at our hackerspace and smashed the screen 
I paid something like 600eur for the machine 2nd hand, Apple quoted 999eur for a replacement screen. Ha-ha...
Also ofc there's a chip preventing from simply switching a screen from another unit, so even with the 450eur screens from eBay it's just not worth it just in case I'd mess it up soldering.
It's now a desktop.
Be it plywood or acrylic (for weatherproofness).
