I can't believe they left out the blood sacrifice on sharp parts of the case. Always different/unexpected parts of the case, and always miraculously sharp. (Less so now with higher end modern cases, but was definitely this way with 80s/90s/early-00s cases.)


The best part is that most of the time you don't realize you've cut yourself until there's blood in the case/on the motherboard/etc.


Those old cases were so sharp. One time I was fishing a screw out of a channel formed by some bends along the bottom of a computer case, and I felt the ragged sheet metal edge slide deep into the flesh of my fingertip. Ouch.
