While will you want to buy 47, 470, or even 10 ohm resistors???
The main power supply needs 10 and 20 miliohm resistors (0.010-0.020 ohm).
Other places on the MacBook boards have 2, or 5 miliohm resistors.
Be aware of the marking codes!

Shoot... so there is no place to get those resistors in bulk? I got 4 jobs in here with problems where I had to use those resistors and I don't have any more...

20 miliohm can be found on normal laptop boards too.
10 miliohm is not so much used there; more in Apple stuff.
I'm sure you can get them in bulk from some online store, but you must search for correct values.
Size is not so important, as you can scratch the paint to place them.

Some of them look like 4 terminals; two common pins in pair.
