Did it for space reasons for my CRT set-up. Recently thought I fucked up something because my disc drive stopped working, but it just randomly died for some reason. No clue but replaced it and works fine now.

PSone I bought from good will and had the CD drive busted. replaced that and works like a charm. Outside of an issue with the power jack. Only works at certain angles so I think I have to resolder some pieces back there when it does eventually god out.

I have heard from some people the disc drive ribbon cable might get caught in the reader and break but I dunno how true that is or possible given they have adhesives. So it might just eventually wear out and snap the cable.
