Just out of curiosity, If I was absolutely in love with the 5xx case design and wouldn't want any other computer sitting on my desk, would the contributors to this article be as outraged if I wanted to strip the logicboard out of a 5500 to upgrade my 580? Or is that just as taboo?

Assuming that were possible, it would still be a terrible waste of a computer just to get the motherboard out of it.

Personally, I don't hold stock in the idea that a computer deserves any more respect than any other tool. Put a rock through it for all I care. (Or don't and donate it to charity - it would be a shame to destroy a tool just because you can when another person might get some use from it.)

At what point do they stop being a tool and become something more?
