There's three conditions: #1 if it's the straight solder repair on the power supply and replacement of the internal power supply cords, you get your box back. #2 If there's additional damage; melting/burning of adjacent equipment in there, it sometimes becomes cheaper to replace the box entirely#3 Especially if you have an early box rather than a later box. The equipment has changed since release, and so have some of the mounting brackets. The new equipment isn't the same stuff the box started with. It's far easier to salvage some of the working stuff, and pull a new box off the shelf, and chuck your system than it is to either pull out all the guts and try and replace parts that simply aren't made anymore and try to make it work.
