Hello, I dropped my Macbook and unfortunately have cracked the back of the laptop on the casing (just above where the battery compartment is located. The computer still works but I am worried about dust and moisture getting inside the computer. Do you sell a casing and is this easy to fix or quite complicated?
Thanks,
Dan Griffith

I agree, it's a difficult procedure, requiring transplanting pretty much all of the MacBook's components to another bottom casing. Although, it is do-able, and iFixit has a guide, so you can see what you're getting into. The bottom casing can be purchased on eBay and probably iFixit for a fairly reasonable price, however there are a couple different versions, so it's important to make sure you get the Core Duo bottom casing and not the Core 2 Duo casing.
If you decide to live with the casing as-is, perhaps some heavy duty clear plastic tape over the cracks would alleviate the concern about dust and moisture.

the case is not dust or moisture tight anyway - so not much has changed. I agree with ^ that take the crack and live with it for the time being is the most efficient solution

There doesn't seem to be the part itself for sale but here's the guide for installing it (It's rated "Difficult")
