I just finished successfully replacing a hard drive in a 1.42GHZ eMac. I'm still alive, and it didn't take me very long. I got to thinking about the suggestion of bleeding the electricity out of the monitor, and I realized that you are more likely to get zapped doing that than just replacing the hard drive. It is very easy to avoid even touching the components of the CRT monitor when replacing the hard drive. The only way you're going to get zapped, is if you have no idea what you are doing, or you try to bleed it.

Just a thought.

Even if you got zapped, it would only be a momentary discomfort. Lotsa voltage but notta lot of current...
