Computer power supplies generally have their own enclosures within the overall computer case. They have their own fans and the connectors to PCBs and drives have safe voltage levels. They are also usually fused. Processor chips are not inside the power supplies. I don’t know why any dangerous voltages would be exposed if he had the cover off. UL TUV CE would all be exposed to big lawsuits if they let something like this through.

I’m assuming it was a cheap Chinese version of a computer that didn’t bother with a separate enclosure for the power supply. I would say the elegibility for the Darwin may be debatable.

If it were not for Global Warming, the man would not have been sweating, and would never have died...

And who caused global warming?

That's right. George Bush!
