IT Support
Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Budgets are tight...
If you get a noisy fan in a PSU, you replace it. Not advisable, but provided you know what a capacitor looks like, not really that dangerous.
I've heard you can adequately discharge them by yanking the power cord whilst tehy're running. I've not poked one to see if this is true. Either way - if you leave them unplugged for a few days, there's no charge left, and can be worked on in perfect safety.
