Yes there is a point! Everything we throw away burdens the environment
in a way or another and making a replacement adds to this burden.

The case of a 5.25" drive is suprisingly easy to open. Think of the
drive as a jig-saw puzzle of 50 pieces. You just have to take some six
to eight edge pieces off of the puzzle and put them back where they were
(four of them are screws) :-) I have opend a few cases myself, and they
all were this easy.
