Actually I've gotten cut up on PCs much more than on any Mac.
Yes, AT cases are the worst, although I've cut myself on a couple of ATX ones too. Generally any major works on a PC usually results in me skinning a knuckle or cutting a finger.
I never have drawn blood taking the power supply out of a 7100.
Well consider yourself lucky. I did a strip service on the only actual 7100 I owned and cut myself no less then three times. One of those, IIRC, was lifting out the PSU I snagged my finger on part for the metal frame.
Just remove the keepers, use a screw driver to loosen it, and it lifts straight up out of the case. You have to remove the power supply before you take out the drive tray to
add RAM, or do any other number of services on the machine.
And then plugging all the drives back in is a nightmare because the cables are all too short. :-S
Nope i really hate that case. Sorry.
