About 2 weeks ago, I grabbed ahold of a computer power supply that was shorted and hot.

I knew it was shot but didn’t know it was shorted to the case. Sittin on my kitchen floor, good thing I wasn’t grounded.

Still, the B! slapped me good! Real good!

I did that once...hubby mentioned his machine was acting odd and seemed to be making zappy noises. It either shut off, or he did a panic shutdown, and I was trying to see what the machine was actually doing...I got lit up the second I hit the power button.

Somehow, the machine itself was completely undamaged from that. Mobo and all, still perfect several years later.
