I wouldn't call it a *new* trend, but welcome aboard! (So to speak.)

So the first thing you'd need to do is figure out what's wrong with it. Visible damage? Nonfunctional? If nonfunctional, in what way?

If you poke around in the 'Keyboards' forums, you'll likely find folks doing similar things. If your modifications to the board is going to be extensive, poking around in the "Making Stuff Together" section might be good.
