find replacement optical drives for iMac 2007

Apple no longer supplies replacement optical drives for early iMacs. How can I find a compatible one?

You can get them here http://www.allpartsmac.com/IMac-Intel_c376.htm

But, if I may suggest, consider replacing your optical drive instead with an SSD. The slot loading super drives are susceptible to failure while being boxed in with all of the iMacs internal heat not to mention the vertical orientation. You can leave your hard drive in place for storage, have a lightning fast boot and app drive and have an external optical drive that will last much longer. Win, win, win.
