From the jankuhin garage on DIYst. in Akihabara? I saw a bunch of them up there on Saturday - loads of Libretto Batteries for 300yen apiece, too, if you need.

Does it have a network card? It may be easier to install over a network by ftp/http, unless, of course, you've already opened it up and yanked the HD.
(If you do that, I'd also swap in a new HD, if you're running with the original (850M ?) From what I've read, you can squeeze a standard 9.5 notebook HD in to the case with no ill effects. YMMV.
I think I have maybe a spare 2GB or 4GB notebook disk if you need.
