Yup.
Well, once you get inside it is. A model 2 you just remove a few screws and lift off the cover. Putting back together is as simple.

A model 1 you have to eject the tray and pop the tray end off, then with the power off, carefully push the tray back in (makes it easier for later if it isn't cracked and locked all the way in later), remove a bunch of screws, including sideways ones from near the system connector, and make sure you keep those 2 shorter screws separate from all of the similar longer ones, carefully lift the top a bit and fish out the cable lock on the left side, lift up and to the left so you clear the system connection.

To put back together, drop the top in at an angle to get around the system connector, realize that the shiny front insert is behind one or more of the tabs, curse and lift the top up again, repeat several times until you finally have it back together with the front piece aligned properly, realize you forgot to put the cable holder back in, so lift the top a little bit a repeat the last few steps a few more times, have a drink, remember to use the 2 shorter screws you kept separate for the top holes by the system connector else you'll punch holes in the outside because they're too long, eject tray, replace tray front.

I didn't see any reason to remove the tray cover when I opened mine...

Those two shorter screws by the expansion port are way, WAY shorter than the bottom ones. Not to mention they're even a totally different color. I didn't have any trouble keeping up with them.

It's probably a bit more difficult to open than the Model 2, but I didn't find the Model 1 any harder to get into than say, a Ps2.

Ok, I was pulling guts out each time I was in one, so needed to not have that front bit flopping around.

The model 1s I've worked on all had holes from the longer screws being used there before they got to me. I couldn't remember if you needed to take the board out to do the fuse and the longer case screws were the same as the inside ones, so if not careful and you use a short one inside because they were all thrown together, might only have long ones left. Just a thing to watch out for. :)
