straighten bent aluminum macbook pro case

Hi there,

Basically, we dropped the macbook on the back left corner (by the power adapter) and bent the case. The bend is right at the ethernet port.

The computer works fine, but I'm concerned about the slight rubbing of the display against the body (when you open and close it). So I looked into a new upper bottom body but for $299 I thought, heck, its aluminum, maybe I can follow the directions (ifixit.com) and straighten out the bent parts.

Yes, I know it voids everything but it's the cheapest way to go (free except for tools) and seems reasonable.

Has anyone had any success in straightening out a bent Macbook case? Any tips/suggestions?

Thanks
