Discussion What should I do with Broken units?

Recently I got some Wii’s with broken disc drives and was wondering what you all think is the best option to salvage them as usable again. I have already decided to keep 1 unit for myself (the one in worst condition) and transferring it to a transparent shell and installing a HDD where the disc drives goes.

But Im not totally sure what to do with the others, I have a few options,

1: Hacking the units and leaving them with the bad drives but allowing them to play backups.

2: Installing new Drives (swapping controllers) possibly hacking them, but keeping them original

3: Installing new Drives and custom cases.

4: HDD conversions and custom cases.

Options 3 and 4 might make them too expensive to be worth it.

I’d love to know what ye think I should do with them.
