PC injuries

[WhoX]

Just wondering if any of you have ever been injured working on a PC.

I've had the usual scratches. I've also had a serious injury that took place in a work shop at a company I worked for. A shelf that was holding a computer with an open case collapsed, I turned and tried to catch the thing and jammed a finger on a sharp edge. The case nearly cut the tip of my finger off. At the hospital I ended up getting seven stitches to reattach a piece on the left side of the finger.

Yowza.

Aside from a couple minorly sliced hands from cheap cases and inexperience, certainly nothing that drastic lol

A couple cuts is about it. Called a bunch pretty vulgar names for other reasons. Usually after you threaten one with a screw driver or a swift kick and be thrown out the front door, they start cooperating. Its best when you get your parts, sit them in the floor in front of you. Have a heart to heart talk about how this is going to go. Works for me.

Always a good idea to heat up the cpu (by running the machine for 10 minute). The heat sink will then come straight off.
