Why? It's actually very easy to dismantle, most of the time you only have 
to loosen (and not completely remove) the screws. 

I've forgotten if it's better to remove the disk drive chassis or the 
PSU/back panal first (if you do it in the wrong order) you have to 
remove, not just loosen, a screw that links those 2 sections). But the 
machine will split ito the PSU, mainboard, disk drive mechanisms and disk 
controller PCB quite quickly.

And there's nothting that scared me when I looked inside mine. It's all 
standard chips (apart from the ROMs) -- chips I could identify, get data 
on, etc.
