v. to case out-- to swap out the internals of recently purchased piece of hardware so that you get new hardware, and then you return your old hardware in the new case to place of purchase thereby screwing retailers or manufacturers or both. The casing method works well on modular PC components... optical drives, computers, gaming systems, anything with a case. Similar to boxing. In other words, a white collar way to possibly steal expensive hardware.
1. Casing my 1TB hard drive that failed on day 10 has saved me many days-- maybe weeks-- that would normally be spent on trying to get a replacement through warranty work.
2. The cheapest way to get a blue-ray drive is to case it with an old 52x.
