Can I replace the aluminum outer case the laptop comes in?

Question

I have a macbook pro 17" 2009

Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Is it possible to replace the aluminum outer case the laptop comes in?

My wife was using my mac and droped it,

on the front left corner there is a dent,

and it is affecting my CD's that I put in my Mac

I have to loosen the screws on the bottom to get the CD's out....

Can I change out the entire outer shell ... Tack the components out and put them in a new shell????

Mac Book Pro 17", Mac OS X (10.6.6), Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Three places you can look:

Or, you can go to an Apple store & inquire about "Flat Rate Repair". Not documented, but users have used such. Cost is around US $300.
