Where can I buy an internal dvdrw for my Aspire V3 472p?

I saw another post where an employ posted different optical drives that can be used along with the brackets. (Computer already has a bevel) However, I searched and never found a place to buy any of it anywhere. At least not in English. Why doesn't Acer just have an area where I can buy parts from them?! They leave an area where one can be installed, but no way to fill the slot? Any help would be fantastic.

The Optical Drive that fit is KO008070012280166E1401 and model number is UJ8C2Q. I used the bracket and bezel that was attached to the plastic place holder included with my laptop. Works great! Skyline Engineering Inc. did a great job and had amazing customer service!

Well, to answer my own question:

 

For anyone else with the same issue, I talked to Acer support. They gave me product numbers that in no way help. So what the employee listed was not something their Authorized Part Partners, Skyline, sells. (makes sense right?) So I called Skyline because the parts couldn't be found on their website (nor when I called). A very nice man, Kyle, was able to tell me what comparable parts that could be used for my laptop over the phone. He said he was 95% sure it would fit, if it doesn't fit just call him up and he will pay for me to ship it back and get a full refund. I suggest calling them. Their phone number is 1-888-393-7223. The optic drive even comes with the bracket. It came to $49 and he even threw in free shipping because he was unsure. Their website is http://www.skyline-eng.com/.
