I agree with you
And I currently have 2 computers operating with the case off in this very room. I suppose you could get a shock if you accidentally dropped/shoved a screwdriver into the PSU though.

Only need finger & thumb to undo case m8
& shoving a screwdriver into PSU would have to be deliberate act anyway.

Just remembered, I used to regularly use a PC with a live case in a dodgy internet cafe in Thailand. I was barefoot (In Thai it's polite to take off your shoes before you go indoors) & sweaty ('cos it's hot!)

Every time I had to unplug my USB camera I had to remember to lift my feet off the tiled floor otherwise I'd get that lovely 50Hz buzz through my body & blue sparks would jump between the plug & the socket. Seemed to survive at least a dozen hits with no bad effects apart from swearing...
